Print this recipe

Ingredients

1 cup ondhwa flour
2/3 cup sour yogurt (the thicker the yogurt, the more you should use)
Warm water
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup shredded zucchini
1/2 teaspoon black mustard seeds
Salt to taste
Chili powder (or chili flakes) (optional)
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped (optional)
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons sesame seeds

Preparation

1
Combine the ondhwa flour and yogurt. Add warm water and stir until you get a thick batter (just thicker than pancake batter). Cover and let sit out overnight in a warm place.
2
The next day, heat the oil in a small saucepan.
3
Add the mustard seeds and fry them until they start to pop.
4
Add the zucchini to the oil and cook until just cooked (less than 2 minutes).
5
Cool the zucchini and add it to the batter.
6
Add salt to taste.
7
Add the chili powder and cilantro and correct the seasonings.
8
Preheat the oven to 425.
9
Just before baking, add the baking soda to the batter.
10
Pour the batter into a greased loaf pan and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
11
Bake 20 - 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

About

Note: This does stick, so either grease the pan well or line with parchment (or use a silicon pan). Also, this does not rise much at all. You can use a smaller, deeper pan for larger slices - it will not overflow the sides of the pan.
