Hola peeps!!
I am back with a fun recipe today, We enjoy zucchini in cakes and bakes and pastas. But today let’s jazz up this beautiful squash. Make a delicious spicy curry with prawns.
Yup zucchini prawns curry!
This zucchini recipe is created by my mommy dearest. I have learnt this from her the last time she had visited me here in the UK. And we got hooked to this. Well who can say no to a good curry especially when it is loaded with juicy plump prawns. It has a very refreshing flavour to it as well.
Do give this a try, I am sure just like me you will get hooked to it as well.
What are the ingredients used to make zucchini curry?
This courgette curry is made with very few and basic ingredients ingredients.
- Zucchini / courgette
- Prawns/Shrimp (For vegetarian option skip the prawns and add potatoes)
- Onions
- Tomato
- Green chillies
- Ginger-garlic paste
- Spice powder (Red chilli, Coriander, Cumin powder, Turmeric powder)

Can we skip the prawns in this curry?
Of course!! you can. I love to make this zucchini curry with thin slices of potatoes. It tastes equally good.
