1lb full fat Greek or Persian yogurt
1-2 tablespoons tapioca or corn starch
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup rice
1/2 lb ground beef
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/4 cup olive oil
salt/pepper
Garnish:
4 cloves crushed garlic
2 tablespoons butter or ghee
1tablespoon dry mint
How2:
Stuffing:
Mix ground beef,rice,Cinnamon,salt,pepper in a bowl.Prepare the zucchini as shown in how to prepare stuffed zucchini kosa
once prepared you may saute each zucchini in the 1/4 cup of oil to soften it up or partially boil it in the 1 1/2 cup of water it works either way. The reason for this is If you try to mix everything together it takes much longer to cook the zucchini.
Once its slightly cooked,in a bowl combine yogurt, and corn starch (If you didn't use the water to boil you may add it here) and set it aside.
Add stuffed zucchini and yogurt mixture into a pot, bring up to a boil then reduce heat to med-low. if it over boiled it may easily split. cover and cook for about 45-50mins until the zucchini is tender and the sauce has thicken.
right before its done in a pot melt butter/ghee on med-low heat add crushed garlic saute just enough for it to become fragrant but not brown. add the mint ,lower the heat and saute for about 1min. pour the mint butter over the zucchini and yogurt stew. stir it around serve it up as is or with an extra side of rice or bread.
ENJOY!
NOTE: this can be made with just ground beef which is how its traditionally done my family enjoys it with the rice. be very careful not to over boil the yogurt it can easily split and look curdled this is why we use cornstarch it helps bind it together. you may also use ground lamb,chicken or just rice for vegetarian option.
