2 zucchini medium size, washed
1 cup rice washed and drained
2 cups vegetable stock organic and salt free
2 red chilies dried whole
1 bay leaf
1 black cardamom
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
2 garlic cloves finely grated or chopped
1/8 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/4 teaspoon Garam Masala
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon butter

1
Trim the ends of Zucchini and grate. Keep aside.
2
Warm 2 cups of vegetable stock in the microwave.
3
Heat oil in a pan/karahi on medium flame. Add bay leaf, whole red chilies, black cardamom and cumin seeds. Once the cumin seeds crackle add the grated garlic cloves and saute for 10-15 seconds.
4
Time to put grated Zucchini in the pan, saute for 1 minute and then throw in turmeric powder and garam masala. Mix well.
5
Add rice and saute for 1-2 minutes.
6
Now add warm vegetable stock and add salt to taste. Bring it to a boil on medium flame and then lower heat to simmer.
7
Cover the pan with a lid and let the rice cook for around 5-6 minutes. Quickly check the rice to see if it is cooked through. In case you need more stock to cook rice then do warm it up and add. I added 2 cups and the rice was cooked well.
8
Once the rice is cooked take it off the flame. Add 1 tablespoon butter on top, cover it back and let the butter melt. Fluff the rice gently with a fork.
9
You can serve it with yogurt /pickle/raita of your choice.
