Chayote also known as Chow Chow or Bangalore Brinjal or Seema Vankaya in Telugu is a simple yet a flavourful and a healthy Vegetable mostly available in Winters. And what's better than to make this dish for wrapping up the Season with love.
I had made this as a simple fry for mealtimes on any given day. There are a number of variations that can be tried with this super awesome Vegetable.
I had made it for Breakfast as well as for the Tiffin box too.
It tastes super yummy and is largely a mix of Bottle Gourd and Brinjal. The best part is that it can be enjoyed even in Salads because it tastes so good and juicy. It gets done so very easily too. Therefore putting it to a multitude of uses is absolutely normal. This Veggie is a great choice for any day meals for all those innumerable benefits it offers.
Goodbye Winters!
Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Steps

25-30 minutes

1

Heat oil in a wide pan. Add mustard seeds at first. I have used both black and yellow seeds. Let them crackle a bit before adding the curry leaves bengal gram and the black gram. Fry them for a minute and then add the chopped spring onion and red onions both. Also add in the ginger-garlic green chilli paste as well. Saute all of that for about 2-3 minutes or until the onion is soft and done.
2

Now add the chopped chow chow as seen in the pic. Add the powdered spices as mentioned one by one. Mix well and cover. Cook on a low heat until done. Keep stirring a bit at regular intervals.
3

Garnish with chopped coriander and grated fresh coconut. Mix well and it's perfectly done. Don't forget to adjust salt before taking it off the gas.
4

Serve with rice and rotis both for a yummy meal. Enjoy!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
