Prepare zucchini and tomatoes, and set aside. Heat oil in a kettle and, when it starts to smoke, add cumin seeds. Stir briefly and add hing, coriander, cumin, tumeric, paprika, garam masala, and salt. Add zucchini and tomatoes, and stir gently to blend without breaking the slices. Add water and cover. Cook over gentle heat for 10 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped fresh coriander and serve.
