Chow Chow / Chayote Kootu without Coconut

A kootu made with roasted dal powders, which makes your

cooking simple and mess free on hectic days without grinding.

Make this powder in bulk during weekends. This Chow Chow

kootu is different from the usual ones, since it is made without 

coconut. Instead of coconut roasted dals powder, boiled moong dal 

are added. It retains the same taste as the kootu made with coconut 

and can be had with vathakuzhambu rice or sambhar rice or Rotis.
