    Creamy Squash Curry

    Aug 6, 2021 · Leave a Comment

    This is a creamy curry made with season's fresh summer squash. These low calorie veggies can be used to make very delicious curries that kids would love to have. This lip-smacking creamy spicy curry is sure enough to get everybody's attention. Even people who are not a big fan of the squashes may think twice after tasting this curry. To make a vegan version, use coconut oil or any oil and coconut milk.
    When making this curry, one thing to be kept in mind is that the zucchini shouldn't be over cooked. Half inch dices work well. Sauté them enough in butter just to get a slight crispiness. It is also important not to over-crowd the pan. Else, they will sweat easily and become a mush. 

    Kids always love a creamy makhni curry and this squash curry will be loved by them. I have used zucchini and calabacitas squash. Any summer squash works in this recipe. 
    If you don't want to use chunks, try shredding the squash. That gives amazing curry too! I have used cilantro for garnish. Try using dill leaves, methi, mint, or parsley for flavor variations. They all taste amazing!

    This curry is very delicious and can be served with cooked grains or phulkas. This curry is as delicious as the Summer Squash Bharta. Both these curries have different flavor profiles but they are equally delicious which you would include in your weekly menu often.

    Creamy, Spicy, Vegan Zucchini Slaw is a refreshing and flavorful salad and a great way for everyone to enjoy zucchini. Similarly, Zucchini Nachos is a low carb snack for the family to feast on! This is my third post for Blogging Marathon.
