Rameswaram Kootu

This is one of my favourite dishes that I learnt from my mom. Vegetable used in this dish is- Chow Chow(also called Chayote squash).
It's easy to prepare and delicious as well.

Ingredients:
Chow chow - 2 if small and 1 if big
Moong dhal - 1/4 cup
Turmeric powder - a pinch
Salt
Hing - a pinch
Coconut oil - a tsp
Curry leaves - a few sprigs
Coriander leaves - to garnish

To grind together:
Coconut - a handful
Greenchillies - as needed
Jeera - 1/2 tsp

Method:
Peel the skin of chayote squash and chop into small pieces.
Pressure cook the vegetable along with moong dhal, turmeric, hing and water(just enough to coat the mixture) for 1 whistle. Switch off the gas.
Grind the above ingredients with little water to a smooth paste.
Mix the ground paste and salt with the cooked vegetable mixture and simmer for 5 minutes.
Tamper curry leaves in coconut oil and add it to the mixture. Garnish with coriander leaves. Goes well with rice or roti.
