Zucchini, probably the most boring vegetable out there. I am trying to come up with new recipes for it though because here, we don't have much choice in vegetables...so, you take what you get and make the best of it. I bought the zucchini last week, hoping to make handvoh with it, but then decided to make zucchini ravaiya out of it..mainly because I am tired of eating frozen Indian veggies. Here's how I made this yummy dish....You will need: 5 small zucchinis, 1 tomato, 1/2 cup besan(chickpea) flour, 1 tbsp-dhania-jeera, 1 tsp turmeric, chili powder, curry powder,salt sugar, 2 cloves of shredded garlic. Oil, Jeera, hing for the tempering.
Chop the zucchini as shown above and make slits in the middle, taking care not to split it entirely. Mix the besan,dhani-jeera powder,turmeric, chili powder,salt and sugar, garam masala together. Stuff this mixture between the zucchini and set aside for atleast 20-30 minutes.
When ready to cook, heat oil in a flat saucepan, add jeera and hing. Add the zucchini now and cover and cook for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, add the tomato and the shredded garlic. Add some water if you'd like a thinner gravy. Cover and let cook-about 15 minutes or so. Serve hot with chapatis or rice.
This curry is so yummy, despite the bland flavor of the zucchini. It is now a regular in my home and goes perfectly with anything. I hope you will make this for your family! Here is another picture. I paired this with chapatis, mung daal, rice, yogurt,pickles for a complete gujju meal.

Truptiben...~pondering~...yep zucchini is boring but you have made think again. Maybe i should try it. I know about the frozen veggies issue. Luckly things have changed here in the UK. One can now buy most indian veggies which are really fresh....peace...~smile~

Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hey Trupti,
I liked the name - ravaiya, the recipe and also the pics. And I think I am going to adopt that music of the moment (and may be extend it too) idea of yours.
Cheers,

Hi, the final product's pictures brings back literally bittersweet memories of a dish made in our house - stuffed bittergourd with some jaggery.
Hi Trupti, This curry looks so good, must try this.
That looks so good, Trupti! I normally prepare only dals with zucchini. This is an awesome alternative. :)
Wow that's an innovative recipe. Delicious.
wow...stuffed zuccini looks amazing. I wanna try it....
This recipe certainly is one I will make. My family loves zucchini as well as Indian food & this will be another way to serve it. Thanks for this! Cheers! Heather
