Zucchini Curry Ingredients

Gather all the ingredients required for this easy zucchini sabji.

• Fresh zucchini: 2 medium zucchini cut into ½ inch pieces (about 1.5 cups).
• Garlic and Ginger: minced or finely chopped or paste.
• Onion: I have finely chopped the onions.
• Green chili: I have used 2 Thai chilies, you can skip and add red chili powder instead.
• Curry leaves: these are optional, this is added to enhance the flavor.
• Oil: your choice of cooking oil.
• Salt: use it according to your liking
• Herbs & Spices: I have used fresh cut cilantro and cumin seeds, turmeric, coriander powder, and garam masala as spices.
• Lemon juice: use fresh lemon juice whenever possible or use amchur powder (dry mango powder) for tartness.

How to Make Indian Zucchini Stir Fry

Wash and cut zucchini into ½ inch long pieces.

Heat a pan or kadai with some coconut oil and add cumin seeds let them crackle.

Then add ginger-garlic paste, green chilies, asafetida, curry leaves, and saute for 30 seconds till the raw smell of ginger-garlic disappears.

Add onions and saute till they turn light brown in color.

Add chopped Zucchini chunks, turmeric powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix everything well.

Cover the pan with a lid, let it cook on the low flame till it is a little bit tender for 3-4 minutes. Stir in between (I dint add any water). Zucchini contains 95% of water hence no need to add water while cooking

Once zucchini is cooked add amchur powder, coriander leaves, mix well and serve this easy Indian style zucchini sabzi or zucchini masala hot with roti, paratha or rice.
