Firstly, pre-heat your oven at 350°F. Then smear two loaf pans with butter, sprinkle a pinch of flour and keep them aside. After this, you may use parchment paper for lining the pan and let it hang over the pan for easy removal post baking. Take a bowl and mix walnuts, poppy seeds, lemon zest, and ginger together. Set it aside.
Whip up the butter in a mixer. Then add sugar to the butter and beat well until the mixture looks blended nicely. Put in the eggs one at a time and blend well. Now, add vanilla and then the zucchini.
In another bowl take whole wheat pastry flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, curry powder and blend them well. Add this mixture into the previous one in two turns, keep on stirring between the turns.
Then fold in the walnut, poppy seed, lemon zest, and crystalized ginger mixture by hand. Save its few quantity to strewn over the top of the Zucchini loaves, before baking it. Keep the batter a bit thick and moist. The final step calls for distributing the mixture equally between the two loaf pans.
Keep note of leveling the batter in the pan. Bake it t in oven for 40-45 minutes on the middle oven segment. Remove the bread from oven and let it cool for about ten minutes. Then place them on wire racks to finish cooling because if you will leave them in their pans, it will get sticky and sweaty.
