Zucchini kootu


Vegetarian  dishes are always easy to make ,filling and good for health.When we are very busy attending so many other activities,we may not get time to do grocery in time.

One day in such a situation,I had only 3 or 4 zucchinis left in the fridge.My grand children were very hungry.

Just for a change,I cut the zucchinis and made a kootu.

It turned out well and the children as well as the adults relished it.

I wish you also try it and give me comments.

Ingredients:

Zucchini--2numbers

Turmeric powder--1/4tea.sp.

Chana dhal----1tb.sp

Shredded coconut--3tb.sp

Jeera--1/2tea.sp

Green chilly--1(very small)

salt to taste.

Urad dhal--1tea.sp

Mustard---1/2tea.sp

oil--1/4 tea.sp

Method:

Wash and cut the zucchinis into small pieces.Put it in a shallow pan with the chana dhal. Cook it for 5 minutes with little water and the turmeric powder.Add salt.

Ground  coarsely 2/3 of the coconut with  green chilly and Jeera . Add this to the zucchini and mix well

Just saute the remaining coconut to brown  colour

Season it with roasted urad dhal and mustard.
