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.

Notes
- Coconut oil gives a nice flavor to coconut-based dishes. Any oil can be used instead
- Avoid covering and cooking zucchini. Zucchini might turn soggy in that case
- Add salt initially and cook. If salt is added toward the end Poriyal might become soggy
- Adjust the spice according to your taste. Green Chilli can be ground and added along with coconut for additional spice
- Channa dal/ urad dal can be tempered along with mustard seeds. I usually do but forgot while taking the video
