- Add all the dry spice powders- chilly powder, corriander-cumin powder , turmeric powder, garam masala powder and salt.
- Add the zucchini pieces and required water. Bring the gravy to a boil .
- Simmer the gravy till oil floats on top. Check for seasoning and adjust if needed.
- Finally, add finely chopped cilantro and switch off. Serve hot with any roti varieties or rice.
Notes
You can also roast 3 tblsp of grated coconut, make a fine paste of it and add to the gravy. This gives nice thickness and taste to the curry. (Here is Ivygourd curry made in a similar way.)
- Another variation is to add ½ cup of coconut milk to the gravy at the end and just heat it through.
- You can also substitute zucchini with other vegetables like ivygourd (tindoora, kovakai) or any dried beans (lima beans, kidney beans, butter beans etc).
