Recipe Notes and variations:
- You can make this recipe with green or yellow zucchini or any squash. The cooking time of the curry depends on the variety of squash.
- I have used coconut milk to make this South Indian-style zucchini curry. You can use regular milk or any plant-based milk to make this. Taste and consistency depend on milk. If you use cashew milk, curry will be slightly thick.
- This recipe uses my basic everyday onion tomato masala also call as bhuna masala.
- Instead of zucchini, you can make this curry with ridge gourd as well.
- Any bell peppers or broccoli or cauliflower will also be a good addition to this curry.
