Zucchini in Basil Sauce is my quick fix when I crave for Thai food but am lazy to make.

Ha ha the combination of coconut milk and basil works for me. The taste offcourse is quite different but it still satisfies my craving. However you would as it is love this with plain steamed rice and with some red chilli flakes it gets the right spiciness too.

What I love about this combination is how they compliment each other. Plain, steamed rice absorbs the taste of the gravy and zucchini is chunky enough to come in every bite. You can add more red /green chilli incase you want it more spicy. This is how I loved it along with the family.
