Red Chillies - 1-2 broken in pieces
Hing (Asafoetida) - 1 pinch
Salt - as per taste
Meetha Neem (Curry Leaves) - 4-5 leaves
Sugar - 1 tsp
Oil - 1 tsp
Preparation

  • Take oil in a pan and add rai, jeera, heeng, curry leaves and broken red dry chillies.
  • Once they all start spluttering, add zuchhini, salt and sugar.
  • Cover and cook for 2-3 min.
