• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 4-5

Ingredients

• 2  zucchini, cut into small cubes
• 2  large baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 1⁄2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1⁄2 teaspoon  garlic salt
• 2  tablespoons  vegetable oil
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons garlic paste
• 1⁄2 teaspoon ginger powder
• 3  teaspoons curry powder (more or less to your taste, please test for your liking!!)
• 2  tomatoes, chopped
• 1⁄4 teaspoon sugar
•  salt, to taste
•  pepper, to taste
• 1 1⁄2 cups water
•  chapati (to eat with this dish!)

Directions

1. Combine cubed zucchini, cubed potatoes, turmeric and garlic salt, and set aside for 5-10 minutes.
2. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet, and sauté zucchini and potatoes mixture on medium-high heat for approximately 5-6 minutes, allowing them to become slightly golden.
3. Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon, allowing oil to drain off and place in another dish for later use.
4. Turn your heat down to a low heat and add the garlic paste, ginger powder, and curry powder, and allow to sauté for approximately 2-3 minutes.
5. Add chopped tomatoes, sugar, salt, pepper, and water, and then turn the heat up to around medium high.
6. Add the zucchini and potatoes mixture and allow to cook until the potatoes are tender but not mushy!
7. Serve with chappatis!
8. If you feel that you've made it too thick, you can always add a tiny bit of water to thin it out a little.
9. If you find that adding a little water makes it too bland, you can always add some curry powder and some salt and pepper and heat for a few minutes.
10. You will just need to taste test for your preferred flavor and thickness-- ENJOY!
