Confession: for the longest time, I thought zucchini was another type of cucumber that’s only used in raita and salads. I didn’t even know the Indian name for zucchini having never seen this vegetable in Kerala or even Hyderabad. It seems zucchini is actually a fruit, not a vegetable, and is closely related to ridge gourd, a popular vegetable in India. Pin Anyway, I wanted try an Indian recipe with Zucchini and went with the easiest option – a quick and simple sabji with besan. Also check out Indian potato fry (no onion, no garlic), yam fry, and sesame tofu recipe. This is a no-onion no-garlic, Jain friendly recipe. Serve zucchini beasan sabji hot with steamed rice or chapatis. Do you have any favourite Indian zucchini recipes? Do share in the comment box below!
