    Chayote Dal Stir Fry / Chow Chow Paruppu Kootu is a common side dish that can be had with steamed rice and any vegetarian gravies. The characteristic of chayote is it takes the taste of the seasoning whatever its cooked in. This stir fry tastes more like a dal fry. Chayotes are high in vitamin C, low in calories, and are a good source of fiber. They can be eaten raw or cooked. With a sweet, starchy, slightly fruity flavor.  It can also be served as a side dish for chappati. Here goes the recipe…
