Chow Chow Chutney (3)
10 minute chow chow chutney recipe that pairs well for idli and dosai. Perfect for the busy weekday mornings. Recipe with video.

Chow Chow Chutney / Merakai Bajji is an excellent chutney / mash that can be made in 10 minutes. This goes well with idli and dosai. This chutney stores well in the refrigerator for up to a couple of days. Perfect for the busy days and is a very healthy chutney made with veggies. Chow Chow / Chayote is rich in amino acids and a good source of vitamin C.

I have used country tomatoes for making this recipe. Its important to use ripe tomatoes. Deseeding the tomatoes for this chutney is recommended. It results in a smooth texture. The veggies are cooked in a pressure cooker and then mashed with a masher. Do not use a blender to grind the mixture. The texture does not come out well. Mashing with a potato masher is preferred.

Here is the recipe for all purpose Idli Dosai Batter made at home.
