One of the best side dishes ever. Absolutely essential if you live in the south. :)

Also very simple - it takes only a few minutes and ingredients you should have on hand!

very nice and mouth watering!
in my language these are called "bhaji"( in marathi)
instead of corn flour, we use chiken pea lentil flour and sponge gourd instead zucchini!
the flour paste should be slightly thick
this is a popular evening snacks in rainy season
buck up!!!!!!!

I cut my yellows, dip in egg wash, roll in bread crumbs, and place in non stick pan with small dollops of butter around pan and sprinkle pepper and parmasean over tops of squash - bake 365 for 20mins or until tender - flip over for addtl 5 mins - flip back over to serve...mmmm - good... we are going to try frying as written above this weekend :)

Thank you!

I hope you like them! :D This particular batch was amazing, and I kinda want to make them again today... we got another squash and zucchini at the farmers market and they're tempting me.

Oh, the yellow one is a summer squash. They do taste pretty similar, though. :D
