THAI GREEN CURRY MEATBALLS WITH ZOODLES

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large saucepan or wide pot over medium heat. Add curry paste and bloom in the oil, stirring frequently, until very fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add thawed meatballs and continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until meatballs are heated through, another 3 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in another large pan over medium-high heat. Add the zoodles and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until zoodles are warmed through and some of their moisture has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
• Evenly divide the zoodles among 4 bowls. Ladle curry over zoodles and top each with a few meatballs. Top each with sliced Thai bird chiles, basil, cilantro and black and white sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges.

ZUCCHINI CURRY RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• First off, dice the onions and garlic and grate the ginger.
• Then, add oil to a pan over medium heat and when warm, add in the diced onions and saute about 7 -10 minutes, stirring to keep the onions from burning.
• While the onions are sauteing, dice the zucchini into bite-sized pieces.
• Then add in the ginger, garlic and zucchini into the pan with the sauteed onions and saute about 5 minutes, stirring often.
• Add in the coriander, cumin, smoked paprika and turmeric and stir so spices are well incorporated.
• Then, add in the tomato paste, vegetable stock and coconut milk and stir till all three have combined well. Once it has been mixed well, let this simmer about 3-5 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper. If you'd like it a bit spicy, add in a teaspoon of chili powder and mix. Garnish with chopped cilantro and enjoy with roti or naan or rice.
• Enjoy!

SUNNY ZUCCHINI CURRY

Steps:

• Begin by heating the oil over medium and then adding in the leek. Allow it to cook for a few minutes and become tender, turning that beautiful shade of bright green. Add in the garlic and let that cook for a few minutes.
• Next add the turmeric, chili powder, fresh green chili and salt. Let that cook for just a few minutes then add in the zucchini.
• Add just enough water to the pot to nearly cover the zucchini, about 1/2 an inch below. Cover loosely and let that cook until the zucchini is tender, about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, grind up the coconut flakes and cumin. A coffee grinder that you use for spices works best. You want it to be quite fine, even paste like.
• Once the zukes are cooked, stir in the coconut/cumin mixture - mix it in well. Turn off/move off the heat and then add in a few tbsp of creamer (or yogurt or coconut milk). Adjust seasoning.
• Cover loosely and let sit. The coconut needs some time to become tender -- otherwise it could feel chewy. It may seem thin at first, but it will thicken up a bit. You can always leave it to sit on the back burner for a while and reheat gently prior to serving if you like.

ZUCCHINI TOFU CURRY

Steps:

• Drain and dice tofu.
• Add tofu to hot oil in wok and saute, drain excess liquid and continue to saute to desired crispiness.
• Add chopped onion and garlic. Saute until soft.
• Add coconut milk and spices.
• Cut zucchini into bite size pieces and add to wok.
• Let everything cook for 7-10 minutes more, depending on desired doness of zucchini and thickness of sauce.
• I like serving millet as a side which takes 20 minutes to cook, so I time it with the curry to make sure everything is done at the same time!

VEGETABLE CURRIED RICE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, cook rice and onion in oil until rice is lightly browned and onion is tender. Stir in the broth, curry powder, salt and turmeric. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 12 minutes. , Stir in corn and peas. Cover and simmer 3-6 minutes longer or until rice and vegetables are tender. Sprinkle with almonds.

CHICKPEAS WITH ZUCCHINI CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a pot and add the onion and cumin seeds. When they start to crackle, add the courgette slices and chickpeas. Stir and sprinkle with the chilli, coriander and turmeric powder(s). Mix well and add the tomatoes. Sprinkle with salt, the green chilli and fresh coriander.
• Cover and cook for about 10-12 mins or until done.

POTATO & ZUCCHINI CURRY

Steps:

• Combine cubed zucchini, cubed potatoes, turmeric and garlic salt, and set aside for 5-10 minutes.
• Heat oil in a large heavy skillet, and sauté 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 sauté 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!
