If you're sensitive to spicy foods, seed the chile. A small amount of chickpea flour, also called besan or gram flour, acts as a binder and provides a delicate nutty flavor. Look for it in Indian or Asian markets, or substitute whole wheat flour.
== Ingredients ==
* 6 zucchini (about 3 pounds)
* 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided
* 1 1/2 cups chopped peeled baking potato
* 2 teaspoons butter
* 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
* 2 1/2 cup chopped onion
* 1 1/2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
* 2 garlic cloves, crushed
* 1 serrano chile, minced

* 1 teaspoon ground coriander

* 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
