Zucchini Tomato curry

Zucchinni or courgget is an Italian Squash. It's taste is similar to Indian cucumber or Dosakaya. As a vegetarian I would love to embrace veggies from different cuisines and use them in my cooking. Zucchinni is one  such vegetable I use abundantly in my kitchen. 

Since I already use many different squash in my cooking it wasn't that hard to to make delicious recipes using zucchinni. I use zucchini in currys, Pastas,Soups, Salads.I also use grated zucchini in many of my Tot's dishes. This recipe is a very simple one but so tasty. It can be had with Rice, Chapathi or Quinoa.Don't forget to try my Zucchini Tofu curry.

Nutrition:Zucchini is rich in Vitamin A which helps with vision and immunity, Vitamin C with antioxidant properties. Zucchini has good amount of Potassium, phosphorus minerals. Zucchini is a good source of B6  vitamin too.

In this recipe I have used roma tomatoes. These are similar to indian tomatoes with little sourness.You can also use any other tomatoes.
