I usually make kootu and curry with zucchini. This time I tried making chutney and the result was amazing.!
Ingredients
2 medium zucchini
4 or 5 red chillies (adjust according to taste)
1 small green chilli (for flavour)
1/2 tsp tamarind paste
2 tbsp of urad dal
1/2 tsp jeera
A pinch of asafoetida
Salt to taste
Oil as needed
For seasoning
Oil
1/2 tsp of mustard
A few curry leaves
1 red chilli - broken
Method
1)Peel the skin of zucchini,and cut into small pieces.
2)In a pan roast the red chillies and urad dal without oil. Remove it and set aside.
3)Next add oil in the pan and fry the zucchini till tender.
4)Then add the tamarind paste and asafoetida and mix well.
5)Transfer the roasted red chillies, urad dal, raw jeera and zucchini veggie mix to a mixer grinder.
6)Add very little water and add salt to taste and blend to a paste
7)Season with mustard, curry leaves and red chillies.
This is my contribution for zucchinni lovers. You can eat this chutney with dosa, adai or idli or with a bowl of hot rice and ghee. Yummmy
