I just love this forgotten Courgette (Turai) Curry !
When we were growing up, meal planning was easy since it was easy to keep a track of what was seasonal and what wasn’t and as courgettes are summer produce and Mum has always been in to healthy fresh cooking, it was no surprise that courgette and all the other varieties of seasonal produce were common dishes at our table and were always cherished by us. But when I moved to the UK, it slipped off my repertoire for some reason until my mother in law cooked it one day!
So cheers to Mums….and to the ridiculously easy and delicious, Courgette curry!!
This is how you cook it.
