A hot steamy curry and some flat bread is a perfect menu for any weekend lunch. I personally prefer making curries which are not very spicy but at the same time full of flavors. I was in a famous book store of the city recently and was checking few cook books to learn new recipes. I came across Lebanese courgette in one of the books. Tried replicating the same in my kitchen. Sharing the recipe below.

Ingredients:

• Zucchini 1
• Tomatoes 2
• onion 1
• garlic 2 cloves
• Turmeric powder 1/2 tea spoon
• Red chili powder 1/2 tea spoon
• Oil 2 table spoon
• Salt to taste
• Sugar 1 tea spoon
• Mint leaves for flavor
• Water 1/2 cup

Method:

In a wok or pan, heat oil.

Stir in chopped onions and let them become translucent and then add chopped garlic.

Add chopped zucchini. ( I have cut zucchini in long batons but you can cut in whatever shape you want).

Add turmeric, red chili powder, sugar, and salt to taste. Stir everything well.

Stir in the tomato puree and add 1/2 cup of water for the consistency.

Cover the pan and let the curry cook for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, remove the lid of the pan, and sprinkle fresh mint leaves for flavor.

Serve the curry hot with Indian flat bread, steamed rice or garlic bread.
