Pair this meatless summer dish with rice or any main that needs a worthy companion. The recipe for south Indian Mezhukkupuratti, which comes to us from Joe Thottungal’s cookbook <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Coconut-Lagoon-Recipes-Indian-Kitchen/dp/1773270486/" target="_blank">Coconut Lagoon</a>, is made from a mix of plantain, and, in lieu of ivy gourd, zucchini (time to put those local finds to use!). Drenched in aromatic spices, it’s the kind of dish that’s simple enough to make in a pinch, but still capable of elevating everything around it.

Mezhukkupuratti | മെഴുകുപുരട്ടി

By Joe Thottungal

Mezhukkupuratti is a traditional south Indian dish of stir-fried vegetables elevated with warm, fragrant spices. Prepared with green bananas or plantains (with the skin left on!), this simple dish makes an excellent side for any good meat curry, such as Beef Curry. Tindora, also known as ivy gourd or kovakka, is a tropical vine that grows abundantly in Kerala. If tindoras are unavailable, baby zucchini can be substituted.&nbsp;
