CHOW CHOW KOOTU (CHAYOTE)



The most yummy & popular dish of South India!!! The main condiment for this is ground cumin, coriander and coconut along with other south Indian spices. But let me show you how to make this dish by using only some of these ingredients, some adjustments etc. I bet you will definitely be able to make the dish which looks & of course tastes exactly the same.

INGREDIENTS:
• Chayote 2 big sized
• Grated Coconut Handful
• Green chilies 3 No’s
• Cumin powder 1 tsp
• Sambhar powder 1 tsp

METHOD:
• Dice the chayote and keep it in microwave for 15 minutes. Add water such that the veggies are just immersed. Close the lid of the dish.
• Then add the grated coconut, green chilies, cumin powder and sambhar powder and keep it again for another 15 minutes or until it is cooked well. The veggies should be very soft. Actually if it gets smashed slightly, you will get a thicker consistency.
• Then add little yogurt or thick curd, the thickening agent and keep it for a minute or less than that. Allow it to stand for 5-10 minutes.


** This can also be called as “Chow Chow Mor Kootu”. Whatever it is called, we have a healthy food with only veggies in it, which is much much better than having the outside junk food.
** Actually if you get coriander powder it s very good. It enhances the taste very well. Not only for this dish, you can use it in almost all dishes.
