Ingredients

  • 2 zucchini, cut into small cubes
  • 2 large baking potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger powder
  • 3 teaspoons curry powder (more or less to your taste, please test for your liking!!)
  • 2 tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon sugar
  • salt, to taste
  • pepper, to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • chapati (to eat with this dish!)

Method

  • Combine cubed zucchini, cubed potatoes, turmeric and garlic salt, and set aside for 5-10 minutes.
  • Heat oil in a large heavy skillet, and saute zucchini and potatoes mixture on medium-high heat for approximately 5-6 minutes, allowing them to become slightly golden.
  • Remove potatoes with a slotted spoon, allowing oil to drain off and place in another dish for later use.
  • Turn your heat down to a low heat and add the garlic paste, ginger powder, and curry powder, and allow to saute for approximately 2-3 minutes.
  • Add chopped tomatoes, sugar, salt, pepper, and water, and then turn the heat up to around medium high.
  • Add the zucchini and potatoes mixture and allow to cook until the potatoes are tender but not mushy!
  • Serve with chappatis!
  • If you feel that you've made it too thick, you can always add a tiny bit of water to thin it out a little.
  • If you find that adding a little water makes it too bland, you can always add some curry powder and some salt and pepper and heat for a few minutes.
  • You will just need to taste test for your preferred flavor and thickness-- ENJOY!
