Instructions:
-
Begin by preparing the cho cho. Cut it diagonally in half and remove the seed. Then, grate the cho cho and set it aside.
-
In a kadai or Dutch pot, add half a teaspoon of oil. Once the oil is heated, lightly roast the channa dal, urad dal, and dry red chili until they emit a fragrant aroma.
-
Next, sautΓ© the grated cho cho separately in the same pot for about 5 minutes or until it turns tender.
-
Now, it’s time to prepare the thuvaiyal paste. In a grinder, combine the roasted channa dal, urad dal, chili, grated coconut, and tamarind paste. Grind them to a medium consistency, adding a little water if necessary.
-
Season the ground mixture with salt according to your taste preferences.
-
In another Dutch pot, add half a teaspoon of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds. When they start to crackle, add the asafoetida powder and sautΓ© for a few seconds.
-
Transfer this tempering to the prepared thuvaiyal mixture and mix it thoroughly.
-
Your Cho Cho Thuvaiyal is now ready to be served! Enjoy its delicious flavors with piping hot rice for a comforting and satisfying meal.
Tips:
- Adjust the quantity of chili according to your spice preference.
- Ensure the cho cho is cooked just right – tender but not mushy.
- You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
