Pakistani Style Turai Ka Salan (Courgettes Curry)

People talking
Like many basic vegetable curries this recipe has it all. Only difference is I add lemon & garam masala powder at the end to give it a more aromatic flavor. You can also add meat in it after frying the onions & cook the meat along with tomatoes & spices till it gets done. Then add courgettes & follow the rest of the recipe.

My husband and I really enjoyed this dish! It was just the right amount of spice and quite savory. We added an extra serrano pepper as we like curries to have a little kick. I'll definitely be adding this to our regular rotation!Reply

This was delicious! Craved a vegetarian Pakistani curry and this turned out to be an absolute winner. DH, who traditionally prefers meat curries, totally loved it. Before I could make the suggestion, he said this curry was going to stay on our menu for future lunches/dinners. Bint e Naeem, I can?t thank you enough for sharing. Look forward to more winning recipes from you! I doubled the recipe, so: I made it out of 3 zucchinis, but would make it out of 4 next time. The zucchinis when cooked do shrink in size and integrate into the curry. 2 medium onions 1 large tomato (or 2 small ones) salt remains the same (1 teaspoon) I kept the chilli powder at ½ teaspoon as well 1 teaspoon coriander powder Bit more than ¼ teaspoon haldi powder ½ teaspoon ground cumin Kept the garam masala same at a good half teaspoonful Green chilli was also kept at 1 (long slit) Same with 3-4 drops of lemon juice I also added ½ teaspoon brown sugar 3 zucchinis would serve 3 and 4 would serve 4, methinks.Reply -
