Ingredients
  

  • 1 Large Zucchini
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
  • 1/2 tbsp Cumin Seeds (Jeera)
  • 1 Sprig Curry Leaves
  • 3 Cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1 Medium Onion finely chopped
  • 3 tbsp Besan (Chickpea Flour) or Almond Flour
  • 1 tbsp Red Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tbsp Turmeric Powder
  • 1/2 tbsp Coriander Powder
  • 1/2 tbsp Garam Masala Powder
  • 1/4 tbsp Amchur (dry mango powder) or 1 teaspoon of Lime Juice
  • 1 tbsp Coriander Leaves
  • Salt (according to the preference)

Instructions
 

  • Begin by washing a large zucchini thoroughly. Once cleaned, cut the zucchini lengthwise and then proceed to slice it into thin, half-moon shapes (about 2 cups).
  • In a bowl, combine the sliced zucchini and add besan (gram flour), red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, coriander powder, amchur powder (dried mango powder), and salt. Mix all the ingredients together thoroughly, ensuring that the zucchini is well coated with the flavorful spice mixture.
  • Heat oil in a pan or kadai, allowing it to reach a moderate temperature. Once heated, add cumin seeds (jeera) and let them crackle, releasing their aromatic flavors. Next, add in curry leaves and minced garlic into the pan, and sauté the mixture for an additional 30–40 seconds.
  • Add the onions to the pan and sauté them for 1 to 2 minutes, or until turn light brown.
  • Now, add in zucchini besan mix and mix well. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 4–5 minutes on medium flame till zucchini is tender.
  • After the zucchini has been cooked to its desired tenderness, it’s time to turn up the heat. Increase the heat and continue cooking the zucchini, allowing it to brown slightly. Pay close attention to ensure that the besan is cooked well, achieving a delightful golden color and a fragrant aroma. This step adds an extra depth of flavor to the dish, so take your time to ensure the besan is cooked to perfection.
  • Serve hot with Keto Naan or Keto Rice.
