  1. Why do we add corn flour? What is the substitute? Traditionally, I don't think corn flour was used in Indian cooking. I would like to try this without using corn flour. When do I add the curd if I am using a gas top and not a microwave?

    1. Mix one tb spoon of besan flour and one tb spoon of rice flour instead of cornflour. Curd can be added as said above for microwave procedure.

    2. I did try it. It turned out good. Thank you. The chow chow kootu, without coconut, has something amiss. I should probably cook it again to get it right, I guess. Lovely blog. Regards.
