Courgette Curry
Description
In this Courgette Curry, neutral cooking oil is warmed to release the fragrance of cumin seeds and finely chopped garlic. Onions are sautéed until golden and softened, providing a flavorful base. Tomatoes are then cooked down, integrating with seasonings including salt, turmeric, and chili powder. The spices are gently cooked in water to prevent burning and to develop their color and aroma before bite-sized courgette chunks are added.
The courgettes are covered and slowly simmered for 15 to 20 minutes until they reach a tender consistency, absorbing the spiced tomato and onion mixture. Fresh coriander is stirred in at the end for a final herbaceous note.
This curry is a light yet flavorful addition to the meal, especially when served alongside fresh homemade chapatti bread. The blend of spices and vegetables makes it suitable for a vegetable-centric plate. It’s a practical dish to prepare with fresh produce and pantry spices.
