Indian Spiced Summer Squash
This is one of my favorite squash recipes that includes a touch of Indian spices. Yellow and green squash are bountiful in the summer-time. They and packed with potassium, low in calories, and easy to prepare.
Ingredients
2 pounds green and yellow summer squash
1 Tbsp. coconut oil
1 tsp. ground cumin or cumin seeds
1 tsp. turmeric
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper or to taste
2 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. garam masala
1 Tbsp. lime juice
2 Tbsp. chopped parsley or cilantro
Trim ends and slice squash into 1/2” thick pieces. Set aside
Heat oil on medium-high heat in a large saute pan with a tight-fitting lid. Add cumin and cook until golden brown, about 30 seconds. Add squash and stir 30 seconds.
Stir in turmeric, salt, cayenne pepper, and coriander.
Add 1/4 cup water. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, until squash is tender, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and sprinkle garam masala and lime juice over mixture and stir. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley or cilantro.
