Under Fruits that are Vegetables, I have a chocolate brownie made with Zucchini. Zucchini has become common offlate and I keep postponing to buy it. It's quite expensive and the fact that I may not use it completely kept me away. When I decided on this theme, I had got some capsicum as well. However, I decided I will use some new vegetables in a new avatar.
So asked amma to get some zucchini and those two are quite huge and long. I only used half of one and I still have 1.5 lying in the fridge. Somehow this week got delayed beyond control and the dishes were something I couldn't cook as I did with Bihar dishes. I finally decided that Microwave would be the best option given the time shortage on hand.
Since it was double chocolate I was hoping my boys won't know. Just as I thought, after baking, the zucchini is not even visible. Konda was with me when I baking it, she went on saying sugar and cocoa is less. I told her that it intensifies after baking, though sugar can't be managed. I added some chocolate chips quite liberally and the result was dark, intense chocolaty taste.
Will surely be making this again when I get the zucchini again.

Valli these look sinful ! Use of the Zuccini for fritters or sime tossed veggies , though the fritters will disappear in minutes, may be even before you click ????
