01/06/2019
Ingredients:
- 4 Zucchinis (cut into medium chunks)
 - 4 medium size Potatoes (cut into medium chunks)
 - 1 tsp finely chopped garlic
 - 3 Tomatoes cut chopped
 - 6 Curry leaves
 - ½ tsp Cumin seeds
 - ¼ tsp Mustard seeds
 - ¼ tsp Onion seeds
 - 3 whole Red chillies
 - Salt as per taste
 - 1 tsp red chilli powder
 - ½ tsp Red chilli flakes
 - ½ tsp Turmeric powder
 - 2 Green chillies sliced
 - Fresh coriander leaves for garnishing
 - ¼ cup Oil
 - 1 tbsp butter
 - 1 lemon
 - 3 tbsp water
 
Instructions:
- Wash, peel and cut potatoes into medium chunks. Wash and peel zucchini very thinly so that you can still see bits of skin. It will add colour to the dish.
 - Heat oil in a wok. Add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, onion seeds and whole red chillies along with the curry leaves. Fry until the seeds and curry leaves start to splutter hence releasing their aroma.
 - Now add garlic, salt, red chilli powder, red chilli flakes, green chillies and turmeric powder with a splash of water. Toss and cook for a minute till the spices are fragrant. Then add potatoes and fry till the edges are a bit crisp.
 - Now cover the pan and cook on low heat till potatoes are half cooked. Also add 3 Tbsp of water to avoid spices to get burn and potatoes have enough moisture to get tender. Add finely chopped tomatoes and fry for a minute or two till softened and oil is released.
 - Add zucchini and no need to add any water as this stage as zucchini will release its own water.
 - Cover the pan and cook on low heat for 3-4 minutes or till the potatoes are cooked through and zucchini is tender.
 - Turn off the flame and top with butter . Garnish with fresh coriander and a squeeze of lemon juice.
 
Do not overcook zucchini or else it will loose its texture and colour and will not be presentable.
