Of late I started going to gym to burn lot of calories and walking more steps,rather than concentration on losing weight. I am in search of eating healthy meals since I am at home. Buying Vegetables during weekend is lot more fun,because I love to experiment with new vegetables. Eventhough I know Zucchini is now a part of Indian Vegetable, this is the first time I got one...Yeah, Just one.
Before trying it as a just plain curry ,just thought about it mixing with Toor Dal r Moong Dal, and I came up with Sambar.Ofcourse, I googled it and saw Zucchini Sambar on their list. So had an idea to continue it further. Along with this I made Brocolli Curry with Small Onions.
Before I start out with the recipe, I should say it tasted yummy and was same like Radish without the Radish-smell.
