Pan-Fried Zucchini

I’m trying creative ways to make my vegetarian dishes pleasing and delicious after realizing that meat is what we cannot live without. And, we are missing out couple of servings containing vegetables and greens🌿 in out diet so this recipe was easy to prepare as a substitute of meat.

I always stir-fried zucchini by seasoning it with pepper in a simple way to reduce cooking time for a couple of minutes. Then, I got bored with it, so I found a new way of adding some flour to grated zucchini with spices and shallow frying it. Just a few ingredients in less than 20 minutes. There you go! Probably, next time I’ll try using the oven to test on the texture and crispness👍.

Preparation time: 7 Minutes

Cooking time: 10 – 15 minutes

Makes: 15

Ingredients

Vegetable oil for shallow frying

All-purpose flour – 90 g

Corn flour – 40 g / 1 1/2 cup

Pepper powder – 1 tsp

Chili powder – 1 tsp

Paprika powder – 1 tsp

Ginger-Garlic paste – 1 tbsp

Grated zucchini – 175 g

Salt

 

Directions

1. Mix together all-purpose flour, corn flour, pepper, chili, paprika powder, ginger-garlic paste. Add zucchini and some salt. Mix  well without adding any water.

Zucchini tends to release water as you mix. It will be very sticky so if possible try mixing using your hands.

2. Heat some oil in a pan on medium-high. Drop some amount of the batter  using a spoon.

3. Flip side after 2 minutes. Shallow fry for couple of minutes until it turns lightly brown or crisp and non-sticky.

Sometimes you get lazy and want to just relax. Times when you want to minimize kitchen time but still have a delicious dinner.

I loved this easy recipe of melted cheese mixed with pasta served with chicken ghee roast. Chicken Ghee Roast is a mouthwatering, spicy and highly aromatic recipe famous in South-Indian cuisine. I got a pack of chicken ghee roast powder when I visited India and it comes in handy when my taste buds feel the desperation of eating something fried.
