Picture doesn't do justice to this easy to cook, comforting dish. Back home in India, the only way to eat courgette is to make a curry out of it. So much so that I hadn't tried it in any other form for the first 25 years of my life. It is the comfort food for days you are not feeling well, or can't be bothered to cook a big meal.
