lozzz😃 i always noticed that vegetable in our local mandi bt never thought of cooking it. after watching this recipe by you girls i actually bought it today and the sabzi wala addressed this vege as lokku!! lets see how it tastes as am planning to cook it tonight.
+Payal Suri : Ha ha ha...that is a cute name for it. In India, my subziwala called it chow chow, I guess a derivative of cho-cho, in a lot of other Asian countries.
It is always pleasure to watch you program and I enjoying making new thing in my kitchen .But I have not try this one. This is on my shopping list.I will try this one.Keep posting new recipe.I love to try new thing in my house.
In Mauritius it is called chouchou. We make salad with it...dice, boiled and then add dizzzle of olive oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, onion and green chilli. We also cook into as gratin chouchou that is boiling and add it to a bechamel sauce, layer of cheese and topping with breadcrumbs and grilled in oven. We also cook it a Masala curry. There also other recipes.
A suggestion. Add the dals first to the oil till it turns brown and then add the mustard seeds and dry chillies. This is a South Indian curry recipe which is eaten as an accompaniment with Sambar or Rasam rice.
I discovered this squash last year at my local Safeway. Then it was priced 2/$1 so I thought I'd try one. I learned quickly that it needed to be peeled but other than that could be used pretty much like a zucchini. Thanks for the recipe. Prior to your recipe, I have not found much info on this vegetable. Though it must have gotten more popular because now its priced at $.99.
Thanks so much, I tried your recipe + Added Fetta cheese cut in cubes (it's like Paneer in Australia)..It was yummy, all like it. We all had it with Chapati. Thanks again 🙏😍
I tried to prepare "Chaote Squash Sabji" following your instructions and it came out admirably satisfactory. It is not the Bengali way of preparation.But it is fine. Thank you.
OH YUM! I do not know what three of the ingredients were at the first part.. so i am lost on their flavor they would add.. looks very very good! I sell them at a store and had no idea what they were or how to cook them.. thanks ladies! nice vid!
Gorgeous, could you please write the ingredients as well since we're not acquainted with Indian spices and the names of the ingredients you were mentioning as you were demonstrating. Thank you.
It looks great. I'm a fan of Indian food and always looking for new recipes. It would help if you gave a written list of ingredients as I am not familiar with all those spices.
Here's the stuff before the chayote:: * mustard seeds * dried red chili peppers * curry leaves * hing (www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/06/22/482779599/meet-hing-the-secret-weapon-spice-of-indian-cuisine) * Chana dal (dried chickpeas) * urud dal (black lentils) * tumeric powder * green chilis
Thank you for sharing this recipe. Just cooked it now and it came very good. To the recipe I added a few cashew nuts. Here in Malta we call it CENTINARJA.Happy weekend ,stay safe .
to day I manage to get the chow chow after 70 mins drive, and I used to make joke ike marry me , are you interested etc etc. I forget your site to learn how to cook the chayot.. thank god I found it now I am now going to watch it ver very carefully lol
***** sure! You can make stuff them. Just boil them for a bit (after peeling them) until they've soften a little, make a hole in the centre and then you put ham in little cubes, pepper, salt, chopped onions and tomatoes and the rest of the chatoye (the one you scraped out). And then you mix sour cream with chipotle and garnish them with that. Add coriander to it. Another way is to make it a cream. For that you gotta peel 3-4 chayotes, then cook until they're very soft, cut them into cubes and put them in the blender with 3 spoons of flour, salt, garlic, about 1 1/2 lt of milk and then cook this with some butter, fried onion and coriander for about 10 mins until it reduces. I've even heard of sweet chayote pie!
+Valeria Sánchez India is a much older civilization, just like china, Philippine etc. All country in the continent of Asia have this and all other vegetable.
The thing i dont like about indian recipes is they have so much spices to add. if you want to make one dish, you end up buying after of the spice aisle

@Brinda Bhurtun, Do you have youtube channel or website that shows how to cook other chayote recipes?

If you get you hands on one let it sit on the counter until it makes a shoot, plant it, it is easy to grow. Very productive plant. 🤓
Wow! Thanks for sharing that tip!
so there's chayote in India? I thought it was more from Mexico... or is this an adaptation?
+Valeria Sánchez can you recommend some mexican recipes using chayote? I cook mine with scrambled egg =]
***** sure! You can make stuff them. Just boil them for a bit (after peeling them) until they've soften a little, make a hole in the centre and then you put ham in little cubes, pepper, salt, chopped onions and tomatoes and the rest of the chatoye (the one you scraped out).

I've even heard of sweet chayote pie!
Thx. Those sounds interesting =]
+Valeria Sánchez India is a much older civilization, just like china, Philippine etc. All country in the continent of Asia have this and all other vegetable.
They keep saying the add-ins to the pan and I don’t know. a. single. one. (Ok fine- 1)
I just remember you as a new version of KARISHMA KAPOOR
This vegetable is also known as chow chow
what it's called in hindi
The seed is edible?? 😳😳
+joyjoyoo- yes, it is
are u both very close? do u do alot together
The thing i dont like about indian recipes is they have so much spices to add. if you want to make one dish, you end up buying after of the spice aisle
+kowthar ali : Agreed but that is where the depth of flavors come in :) No pain, no gain.
+kowthar ali lol
Sorry it's called a ' Choko "
Bekar..NATOK jada
So boring
No onions garlic ginger and othwr healthy stuff
