CHOW CHOW CHANA DAL PORIYAL / CHAYOTE STIR FRIED WITH CHANA DAL /CHOW CHOW KADALAI PARUPPU KOOTU
Chayote, also known as mirliton and choko, is an edible plant belonging to the gourd family.
Mostly eaten in the cooked form, this Vitamin C-rich vegetable is used in several dishes. While cooking it in a sambar is common, a simple chow chow stir fry is also very popular. It is also said to be an ideal accompaniment for greasy meats. Locally, it is considered to be a neutraliser for acid reflux and spicy food.
Not only do these prevent cell-related damage, but they also prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes by controlling blood sugar levels
It also contains folate (which is great for cell division and for pregnant women), vitamin B6 and vitamin K. Minerals like potassium, manganese, zinc and copper are also found in this squash. Chow chow is rich in antioxidants, keeping inflammation at bay and ailments like cancers and joint pains.
