This is a quick and delicious chutney. I had a sudden thought of trying this one day and tried it. No one will know this chutney is prepared with chow-chow/chayote squash unless you tell them! :)
Ingredients
Chow-chow/Chayote/Merakkay -1/2cup{peeled and chopped into small pieces}
Channa dal-1tablespoons
Red chilly-4 (adjust to your taste)
Tamarind- a tiny piece
Grated coconut-11/2tablespoons
Salt
Oil
To temper
Oil
Mustard seeds-1/2teaspoon
Urad dal-1/2teaspoon
Curry leaves- few
Method
Heat oil in a pan, add the channa dal and fry till it turn golden in color.
Now add the red chillies, fry them for few seconds, add the chow-chow and fry on medium heat.
Once the veggie is cooked, add the tamarind and coconut and put off the flame.
Grind it as a fine paste with little water and enough salt, once it cools down completely.
Make the tempering in a small tempering pan, pour it over the chutney and enjoy it with idli or dosai.
