Tried my hands on Zucchini for the first time and it didn't disappoint me 😅. Zucchini has lot of health benefits. To name a few:
👉 It is the best source of dietary fiber and low in carbohydrates. So it is good for weight management.
👉 High in anti-oxidants.
👉 Helps to control diabetes.
👉 Slows down aging.
This is a no onion no garlic dal. However you can add them if you wish to.
