Zucchini Coins
























Ingredients:
12 slices of zucchini (about 1/4th inch thick)
1/4 cup besan (Gram flour)
1/2 tsp to 1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp coriander powder
1/2 tsp chilli powder
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
Salt to taste

Method:
Peel and cut zucchini, keep aside. Combine well all ingredients from besan through salt in a flat dish. Lightly sprinkle water on the zucchini (this will help the dry rub to stick to the zucchini). Heat oil in a flat pan to shallow fry the wafers. Coat each zucchini with the rub and dust excess off. Gently place all the slices in the pan. Keep the flame on low to medium. After about 3 minutes flip them. Drizzle more oil if necessary. Cook for another 3 minutes. Once cooked, drain and let sit on a paper towel so any excess oil is absorbed. Serve hot (they are crispy at this stage). This can be served as an appetizer or as a side as I have in the picture above.
I bought this new pan on "sale" from marshalls. And, it does not work that well with shallow fry recipes. Hence, my crisps appear a little burnt :). If you keep the flame on medium and keep it well oiled, you should not have this problem!
