1

Cut the zucchini into small pieces, leaving the skin on (peel if desired).

2

In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of oil on medium heat.

3

Add 1 medium-sized finely chopped onion to the pan and sauté until it becomes light pink.

4

Add 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste to the pan and sauté for about 1 minute.

Add the chopped zucchini to the pan and mix well.

6

Cover the pan and cook the zucchini for about 5 minutes, checking occasionally.

8

After 5 minutes, add 1/4 cup of water to the pan and mix well.

Cook until the zucchini is soft, about 10 minutes, checking occasionally.

Once the zucchini is soft, turn off the heat and let it cool.

11

Blend the mixture using a hand blender until it forms a fine puree with no chunks.

If the puree is too thick, add a little more water to achieve the desired consistency.

Return the puree to the pan and heat on low-medium.

Add black pepper to taste and mix well.

15

Add some fresh coriander for garnish and mix again.
