SPICY STUFFED ZUCCHINI BOATS


If you are looking for a spicy and a refreshing recipe ..this is definitely the one. This recipe was adapted from chow.com. This recipe is just to give an idea but regarding the ingredients you can let your imaginations run wild.

Ingredients
serves 2

2 medium sized zucchinis
2 small sized tomatoes finely chopped (not the tiny ones)
1 medium sized onions
1 clove of garlic minced
a handful of green bell peppers, carrots, beans finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
2 green chillies finely chopped (according to taste levels)
2 tsp Garam masala (for a stronger flavor)
2 tsp Pav Bhaji masala
1 tsp red chilli powder (to taste)
Salt to taste

How to make it

- Sauté the onions in oil until onions are translucent. Add garlic and sauté.

- Add the tomatoes and the remaining vegetables. Add a little amount of water so that it doesn't get burned. Cover the pan and bring to a boil.

- Meanwhile slice zucchini in half lengthwise. Place in a large pan, cut side down, and fill the pan with enough water to cover the zucchini halfway. Cover the pan, bring to a boil; once boiling, let cook for 5 minutes. Remove the zucchini from the water and place on a plate to cool.

- Once cool enough to handle, use a tablespoon to remove pulp, leaving about 1/4 inch of pulp in the zucchini. You can either use the pulp in the spicy mixture or leave it.

- Pre heat oven to 350 F for 6-8 mins.

- Stuff each zucchini half with some of the mixture. Place in a baking dish (cover the base with aluminium foil) and bake for about 20 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
