Chow Chow Chutney-Chayote Chutney-Chow Chow Thogayal

March 7, 2012 by PadhuSankar 24 Comments

Chow Chow is know as Chayote in English. It is commonly used to make sambar or kootu or mor kulambu. I prepare chutney or thuvayal also with chow chow for a change. This goes very well with rice and is very tasty. Today we will learn how to make chow chow thuvaiyal following this easy recipe.

Chow Chow Thuvayal-Chayote Chutney


Chow Chow Thuvayal-Chutney

 Prep Time : 10 mins

 Cook Time : 15 mins 
 Serves: 2-3
 Recipe Category: Side Dish-Thuvaiyal
 Recipe Cuisine: Indian
 Author:Padhu Sankar

   Ingredients needed

   Chow Chow – chopped 1 cup
   Tomato -1

   Oil – 1 tbsp
   Tur dal – 1 tbsp
   Channa dal/Bengal gram/Kadalai paruppu – 1 tbsp
   Red chilli -4

   Salt needed

Preparation


Peel the skin, remove the seed and chop the choyote into small pieces.

Method


Heat a tsp of oil, add tur dal, channa dal, red chillies and fry till dal turns golden brown. Remove and keep it aside.

In the same pan, heat the remaining oil, add chow chow, chopped tomato, salt needed and cook till chayote becomes soft. Allow it to cool.

Grind the dal first with little water, then add the chow chow+ tomato mix and grind everything together coarsely.

Serve with hot rice topped with ghee. Prepare any fried curry or kootu as a side dish for it.

Note – I have added tomato instead of tamarind. You can add a small piece of tamarind and omit tomatoes or add both for a tangy taste.

    Even I make chutney with this but with tamarind instead of tomatoes, but your chutney has the nice color from the tomatoes I guess..

      Salt is mandatory. Tamarind, if you like the tangy taste, you can add just a small bit or 1/4 tsp paste.
