Chow Chow, also known as Chayote, is a light green, pear-shaped gourd commonly used in Indian and global cuisines. Its mild flavor and tender texture make it a versatile ingredient in curries, stews, and stir-fries. Chow Chow is often cooked with spices and lentils to create wholesome dishes.
Widely grown in tropical and subtropical regions, Chow Chow is valued for its ability to absorb flavors from spices and seasonings. Its unique shape and crunchy flesh make it an excellent addition to soups, salads, and pickles. It is also used in South Indian cooking to prepare kootu (a traditional dish made with lentils and vegetables).
