  • • Wash the Zucchini, Peel and Halve lengthwise. Cut in thin slices.
  • • Keep aside. Chop the fresh fenugreek, sprinkle with salt and rub the salt on the leaves with your hands in a bowl.
  • • Keep for 5 minutes and wash in running water until all traces of salt have been removed. (This is done to reduce the bitterness of the fenugreek). Shake dry and keep aside.

  • • Cover the pot and leave on slow heat, stirring gently and occasionally for 10-12 minutes or until the rice is fully cooked and moisture is absorbed.Transfer to a bowl and serve.
