Chow Chow Kuzhambu Recipe
I kind of stay away from this veg chow chow. I don't buy them regularly. But amma buys them often and make kootu, poriyal with them. I have tasted them and it taste good only. Somehow i have not posted a single recipe using this veg. So when i went shopping few weeks back, i saw this veg and picked one.
It was so fresh which insisted me to cook with that the next day itself. If not i never end up using them. So immediately i made the gravy and it turned out so yummy.
