Zucchini, a part of Gourd family probably the most loved or disliked Vegetable. You may just love it of totally dislike it. Zucchini cooks very fast and this vegetable mainly can cook in it’s own juice.

I tried many different ways to feed my children this vegetable when they were growing up but I was not very successful.

I cooked it Indian style, by the way, Masaledar means enhanced with spices. I added peas and potatoes,  but somehow could not come up with the taste everyone liked. I made mixed vegetable with Potatoes, green beans, Edamame ( green Soya beans), Potatoes and corn. Added special Coconut and Cilantro mix and everyone seemed to like it. So I tried the same recipe just for Zucchini and no one complained.

I have used Chili Ginger paste in this recipe( see Recipe in the Blog under items to keep ready – I use it in almost all Vegetables and Daal Recipes.

So I decided to cook just the Zucchini with the special mixture and every one liked it.

It is very easy and quick. A great Vegetable dish. I used no sugar in this recipe.

Hope you enjoy it.
