- Roast sesame seeds and peanuts separately. Cool and make a powder. Grind red chilies, cumin seeds and fenugreek seeds to powder. Heat oil in a pan. Add curry leaves, green chilies and saute until chilies change color. Add garlic, spices powder (red chilies, cumin and fenugreek powder) and stir. Add zucchini pieces, turmeric powder, stir and cook for few minutes until spices coat zucchini and lightly roasted. Cover and cook until zucchini is tender. Zucchini cooks very fast and keep an eye on it. Remove cover and continue cooking until the mixture is dry. Add sesame powder and peanut powder, tamarind paste and salt. Stir and turn off the heat. Let the mixture cool completely and grind to a coarse paste. If necessary add some water. Transfer to a bowl, add sugar and mix well. Taste the pachadi and adjust salt and tamarind to taste. Serve it with rice.
