Bengali style zucchini curry
This zucchini epitomizes the best of home-style cooking. Its simple and freshly made. This type of vegetable curry is hard to get at any Pakistani or Indian restaurant as its just too simple to be served.
This simple and easy yet healthy zucchini stir fry uses very few ingredients and can be made in less than 20 minutes. There is no browning of onions and cooking up tomatoes. The cooking technique here is shallow frying, which gives the slices of zucchini a wonderful crisped outer surface, leaving the center creamy and tender-textured. It’s delicious served hot or at room temperature.
This one pot curry is made mixing a unique blend of spices that lend to its flavourful nutty flavour.
