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 these yummy Fritters or Pakoras for a change.
I had made these super fluffy and delicious Fritters as a simple treat for the evening snack on a weekend. 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.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Steps

25-30 minutes

1

Make a smooth yet a thick batter with all the ingredients mentioned. Use water accordingly. Wash and peel the chayotes at first and slice them as thinly as possible. Or can slice a little bit slantingly giving it a rhombus shape as well.
2

Dip each slice of it in the batter and see to it that it's nicely coated with the batter. Deep fry them on a medium-high heat in hot oil until done. Cook well on both the sides turning at regular intervals for even cooking. It is a must to switch sides to cook well on both the sides.
3

Serve them piping hot with any chutney of your choice with a sprinkle of some chat masala too on top. It really gives a nice aroma and flavour. 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.
