Jhinge is a vegetable very similar to zucchini & widely consumed in Bengal. This is a simple easy to make preparation....
On a large, deep, non-stick saucepan heat oil preferably mustard (3 tblsps) when hot add the onion seeds & the split green chilies.
Pour in all of the grated zucchini at once and start stirring. After about 5 minutes on high heat, sprinkle salt and turmeric and stir and sauté for a while stirring so that the zucchinis are not burnt.
Now cover tightly, lower heat, and steam for at least 8 minutes. No need to add water as zucchini releases enough water.
Lift cover, stir, taste for doneness and add 1 tblsp sugar (or more if desired; this dish is supposed to be sweetish). Now turn heat to medium high, add the grated coconut and stir and fry untill oil floats up to the top and almost all of the water evaporates. This may take 5 minutes or more.
Sprinkle with chopped coriander leaves. Serve with hot rice.
