With lockdown in progress, I am trying to avoid stepping out. We have started ordering our groceries and because of that I get less Indian vegetables these days. beans, eggplant,  celery poriyal. Asparagus Thengai Poriyal, Brussel sprouts peas Poriyal 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.

Notes

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