Recipe for Zucchini Aash:
Step 1:
To prepare traditional Zucchini Aash, first soak the rice with some salt and warm water. Then peel the zucchinis and chop them finely. Next, chop the onions and sauté them with some oil in a suitable pot.
Step 2:
Once the onions are softened, add the chopped zucchini with some salt, black pepper, and turmeric. Sauté well until the ingredients are well mixed. Then add 2 cups of water and let the zucchini cook.
Step 3:
In this step, cook the rice with some salt and water in a separate pot until it is fully cooked and soft. Cook the meat with turmeric and one small onion separately and set aside. Then cook the chickpeas.
Step 4:
Now, mash the cooked chickpeas and meat together until fully crushed. Add them along with the rice to the pot containing the zucchini. If the Aash is too thick, add one cup of boiling water to the pot.
Step 5:
Once the Aash has thickened a bit, stir it from one side to make it stretchy. Then add the fried onions and taste the Aash. If it’s lacking salt, add some salt and your desired spices.
Step 6:
Once the Aash is fully stretchy and well-mixed, add the kashk. If desired, add some fried mint. Finally, serve the Aash in a dish, garnished with kashk and fried onions.
