Chow Chow Kootu Recipe / Chayote Kootu Recipe

Chow Chow Kootu Recipe / Chayote Kootu Recipe

I love to add milk in my kootu recipe. It make the kootu creamy and makes it look silky. You have to try it to see the results. This is my style of making kootu. So give this a try and let me know how it turns out for you.

STEP1: Pressure cook 1 finely chopped chow chow(chayote) by adding 2 spoons of Yellow Split Moong Dal / Pasi Paruppu and a pinch of turmeric powder. Keep it aside.
STEP2: Heat oil in a pan ,Add mustard seeds, Cumin Seeds / Jeerakam - 1 tsp,curry leaves,pinch of hing pdr,1 red chilli and sauté for 5 seconds.
STEP3: Now add pressure cooked chow chow with moong dal to it. Sauté well.Add ¼ spoon of sambar powder and cook till the water in the kootu drains. Then add salt.

STEP4: Now add ¼ cup of boiled milk (milk should not be hot).Stir well. Garnish with coriander leaves.

STEP5: Serve hot with sambar rice,rasam rice, or roti.
