Few years back I have posted Zucchini Thogayal. That time I was doing other Zucchini based dishes too but don’t know why I have never posted it. Recently when mom saw Zucchini in fridge she got confused it with cucumber that time when I was explaining her about Zucchini I realized it is been a while since I made fusion recipes with it.

I love quick and simple dishes like this. Right from cutting vegetables to cooking the Poriyal end to end it didn’t take more than 10 minutes. For a last minute cooking this zucchini Poriyal comes so handy. When I decided to make Zucchini Poriyal I was thinking how to make it. With coconut/ with onion/ /with some rice flour?, Zucchini reminded me other fast cooking Indian vegetable so I decided to make thoran like how Amma cooks chow chow Poriyal. Zucchini has a slight touch of sweetness so some people might like making it spicy. My son’s spicy tolerance is very less and I always prefer cooking common cooking for all. Now a days I even try to give most of our everyday cooking to my 1 year daughter so I have made this Poriyal less spicy.
