Instructions for Chow Chow Curry Recipe - Chayote Squash Stir Fry

    1

    To begin making the Chow Chow Curry Recipe, we will first cook the chow chow/ chayote until soft. You can steam the vegetable or cook it in the pressure cooker.

    2

    Place the cut chow chow into the pressure cooker, sprinkle some salt, add 3 tablespoons of water, cover the pressure cooker. Place the weight on and pressure cook until you hear 3 whistles. After 3 whistles turn off the heat.

    3

    Place the pressure cooker under running water to release the pressure immediately. We do this, so the chow chow does not get overcooked.

    4

    Our next step is to stir fry the chow chow with seasonings.

    5

    Heat oil in a saute pan; add mustard seeds, split urad dal and allow it to crackle and the dal to turn slightly golden.

    6

    Stir in the curry leaves, turmeric powder, asafoetida powder, salt and the steamed chow chow. Stir on high heat for about a minute and turn off the heat.

    7

    Check the salt and adjust to suit your taste. Transfer the Chow Chow Curry to a serving dish.

    8

    Serve the Chow Chow Curry along with Beetroot Sambar or any other special Sambar or Rasam and Steamed Rice. You can also serve it along with Curd Rice.
