We loved this dish. I also added an extra egg because I was worried about how it would turn out. It was fabulous. I thought the curry powder provided just enough kick to give it some real flavor. I shared it with co-workers and they are still raving about it.

I made this tonight and it came out really well and is really tasty. After reading the comments I made a few changes, some of which I probably wouldn't do again.

I added an extra egg, which I think made this too 'quiche-y' I think it would have been better with more of a ratio of zucchini to egg. I did cut down on the salt, but I probably would cut down more next time. Just salt to bring out the water, then even after rinsing, don't add more salt. I didn't have any curry powder, but I did have cumin and some garahm masala (an Indian spice with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, pepper, etc) so I added a 1/4 t of cumin and 1/4 t of the masala. It added a nice spice flavor that compliments the zuchinni. Lastly, I shredded a little more parmasean than the recipe called for, so I sprinkled it on the top. It made it a little crunchy and brown which is good.

I would definitely make this again, and I might use the basic recipe with some different vegetables like squash (summer or other types) or potatoes.

I agree that it came out too strongly tasting of curry. Mine was just a prepackaged curry mix, not especially spicy, but it still overpowered everything else. It also needed another egg or two depending on how big your zucchini are. Not recommended.

The wide variance in results may be due to "curry powder" being an ill-defined spice blend. Clearly, the recipe's author is using a far milder mix than are those who are finding the curry flavor overpowering.

My attempt at this dish tonight used a quarter teaspoon of my medium-intensity curry powder plus an equal amount of ground cumin. It got good reviews all round, but I think I will try cooking it longer at a slightly lower temperature next time, as the middle was just barely set at 15 minutes while the edges were fully done.

Also, I note, the lead in back on "this week in recipes" refers to the taste of cumin, while the recipe has a substantial amount of curry powder. Yes, I know that cumin is a component of curry powder, but I'm wondering if it's just possible there's an error in the recipe.

I felt a little silly salting, rinsing & then drying the zucchini and adding salt, but it was tasty, with the addition of another egg, although the curry flavor was too strong for me, even with extra egg. I would cut it back to half a teaspoon next time.

Dump!

just finished making/eating this for dinner.
success! even the neighbors came over to try some.

instead of 4 zucchini, i used 2 medium zucchini and 2 big handfuls of fresh, chopped baby spinach, and also used 3 eggs instead of 2. and an 8 inch pan...improv at its most delicious.
