Zucchini Poriyal

 

I am Veena. My love for photography brought me to the blogging world. This world introduced me lot of good friends like you Amy. Your event is very different allows us to share the happiness in much bigger space.. I love you space as it offers different kind of food and has many varieties. You are one of my continuous supporters and your constructive feedback helps in long way for beginner like me. I am so happy that I was given opportunity to do a guest post in your space.
I wanted to try Some Indian type masala poriyal with zucchini. These days I do buy almost every week. I started using zucchini in my cooking only recently. As this is some new vegetable that I got introduced after coming to Singapore (After marriage only). Initial periods I was not sure what to do with it. When My sister visited me few years (almost decade ago) she told me it tastes good you can make almost every Indian dish with it. This masala poriyal tasted extremely good.
