Zucchini Poriyal is a quick and tasty side, made in South Indian style. Right from cutting vegetables to making the Poriyal it takes less than 15 minutes. Perfect for busy days.
l are something which often happens in my kitchen.
Few years back I have posted Zucchini Thogayal. That time I was doing other Zucchini based dishes too but don’t know why I have never posted it. Recently when mom saw Zucchini in fridge she got confused it with cucumber that time when I was explaining her about Zucchini I realized it is been a while since I made fusion recipes with it.

I love quick and simple dishes like this. Right from cutting vegetables to cooking the Poriyal end to end it didn’t take more than 10 minutes. For a last minute cooking this zucchini Poriyal comes so handy.
When I decided to make Zucchini Poriyal I was thinking how to make it. With coconut/ with onion/ /with some rice flour?, Zucchini reminded me other fast cooking Indian vegetable so I decided to make thoran like how Amma cooks chow chow Poriyal.
Zucchini has a slight touch of sweetness so some people might like making it spicy. My son’s spicy tolerance is very less and I always prefer cooking common cooking for all. Now a days I even try to give most of our everyday cooking to my 1 year daughter so I have made this Poriyal less spicy.

Chicory is an added element to make the coffee look brown, and aroma (not sure. Because your coffee without chicory still tastes good) but right from the day I remember Amma has never added chicory to her coffee powder and I also follow the same.

Kollu Thogayal is an easy rice accompaniment that can be prepared within 20 minutes. Kollu Thogayal is good for weight loss. Healthy horse gram is often less popular because of the aftertaste when it is cooked. This thogayal is prepared by sauting horse gram and tastes good.
Ever since my childhood days Thogayal is is one of my favorite rice accompaniments. Easy to prepare- tastes delicious. Except for Paruppu Thogayal and Channa dal Thogayal, most of the Thogayal varieties have urad dal but based on the key ingredients each Thogayal tastes differently.
Recently I have started including protein in my every day diet. Among all the lentils, kollu is one ingredient I recently started using. Usually, I make Rasam and sundal with kollu. A few years back when I was focusing on weight loss my Amma suggested to me this Thogayal. It reminded me of Paruppu Thogayal
Ginger gives a nice flavor to the kollu Thogayal. Though Horse gram is used for the Thogayal no need to soak it. Kollu Thogayal can be instantly prepared. It takes less than 10 minutes for cooking. Thogayal needs about 10 minutes resting to cool down and within 30 minutes healthy rice accompaniment is ready, If you are preparing Kollu Thogayal for lunch.
Kollu podi can be made the previous night or in the morning. Just before lunchtime add some water and mix; Thuvaiyal is ready. If you are planning to keep kollu podi for a few days roast the coconut for a longer time and the podi stays good for weeks.
