tsp

tsp

tsp
Hing
5
Curry Leaves
2

Instructions
Heat a pan and add the oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds, urad dal, and channa dal and hing.
Allow the mustard seeds to splutter and then add the curry leaves and chopped green chilies.
Saute for 30 seconds and add the grated zucchini.
Then add one tsp of salt and cook until the soft is soft and all water is absorbed. As we have added salt, the zucchini will ooze out the water.
Once the water is all absorbed, turn off the heat and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
Then add this zucchini mix to the ½ cup of yogurt and mix well.
Check for salt and if required add more.
Finally, add the chopped cilantro and serve it with your favorite rice.

Notes
I did not add any onion. But you can include onion or even a couple of shallots.
If the yogurt is thick, add about 1 tbsp of water and whisk/beat it well before adding the zucchini mix.
Adjust the salt and spice as per your preference.
