It is one of my hubby's favorite recipe. Chow chow is easy to cook, kootu consumes very limited oil and it is good for digestion too. We can have this Kootu just with hot rice with a few drops of ghee..
Let me share the recipe now.
Ingredients needed
Grinding Ingredients
- Grated coconut - 1/2 cup
- Cumin seeds(Jeera) -1 tsp
- 1 tsp of Fried grams can be added based on taste (optional)
- Red chilli -3(Green chilli can also be used)
Seasoning
- Oil -1 tsp
- Mustard seeds -1 tsp
- Urad dal (split ones can be used) -1 tsp
- Hing - a pinch
- Curry leaves - little(can be chopped into small)
Method
Cook the dhal and keep it aside.
Wash the fresh chow chow neatly. Use a peeler to remove its skin.. Be careful while removing since this vegetable contains small thorns. Chop the Chow chow into small cubes. Grind Cumin seeds, Coconut, red chilli into a smooth paste. We can add little water based on the requirement. Take a pan add 1 tsp of oil.
After oil is heated add Mustard seeds and Urad dhal. When it start to splutter. Add a pinch of hing and curry leaves. Now add the cooked dhal and the ingredients grinded. After it gets boiled and the awesome aroma comes switch off the knob...
Serve hot and Enjoy the Kootu !
