Usually I make Chow chow kootu and poriyal as side dish for rice Or I make sambar for rice adding chow chow. As Iam bored of making the same recipes with chow chow, I was looking for a change from these usual Chayote recipescho. I found this interesting chow chow kuzhambu and tried it for our lunch. It tastes more like kurma kuzhambu as it has spices like cinnamon and cloves. I loved its flavor. I mixed with plain rice adding a dash of ghee and enjoyed it.
Not only for rice, this chow chow kuzhambu tastes great for chapathi, idli, dosa as well. Just adjust the consistency of this kuzhambu, make it thick or thin and serve with the main dish accordingly.
Friends, do try this easy, yummy Chow chow kulambu easily in a pressure cooker as shown in this recipe. Even bachelors and office goers can try this gravy for your lunch box and dinner. I am sure you will love it with rice, idli dosa and chapathi.
