Stuffed Zucchini Wheels

I just bought this book by Jessica Seinfeld called Deceptively Delicious, and frankly though the book has some unsympathetic ways of combining chocolate and cauliflower, I was a little disappointed because it doesn't address enjoying vegetables as they are and generally speaking the vegetarian options are too few and far between. Anyway the good thing was that it really kicked my own creativity.

NT eats most vegetables without fuss except cauliflower so I was basically trying to figure out a method to get her to eat atleast some cauliflower. I was also dying to create an edible version of a zucchini starter that I'd eaten at a fancy restaurant recently. For my version I've used the Indian zucchini.

Ingredients:
Indian Zucchini/Ridge Gourd - 1
Potato - 2

Cauliflower - 1,2 heads

Garammasala - 1/2 tsp

Chat Masala - 1 tsp plus a little for sprinkling (optional)

Chopped coriander - 1 bunch

Salt to taste

Breadcrumbs for rolling.

Oil for shallow frying.

Method:

1. Boil and mash the potatoes and cauliflower, mix together along with the masalas, salt and coriander.

2. Pare the zucchini, cut circular pieces and discard the core.

3. Now stuff each piece with the potato cauliflower mixture, roll on breadcrumbs and keep aside.

4. Heat oil in a pan and shallow fry till brown on all sides.

5. Sprinkle some chat masala over the wheels right before serving. Best eaten hot.
