30 minutes
Cold zucchini and curry soup is a refined dish of Indian cuisine that combines the freshness of young zucchini with the rich spice of curry. This soup is light, velvety, with subtle nutty notes from almond flakes. In India, curry is considered not just a seasoning but a true art that has a warming effect and aids digestion. Combined with the chilled creamy texture of the soup, it becomes an ideal refreshing treat for a hot day. Serving it cold preserves the tenderness of zucchini and reveals new facets of traditional Indian spices' flavor. A magnificent choice for both a light summer lunch and culinary experiments with Indian motifs.
