Chow chow (Bangalore kathirikai) kootu - Preparation time 15 mins
Mom used to make kootu or sambhar using this vegetable. When we were kids I along with my brothers fight for the seed of the chow chow. It will be tasty and mom used to serve in turn for us because of the fight. If the seed is broken we all will get a piece. You know how I will brain wash and bribe them to get it. Childhood is always memorable and happiest part in the life when we are gifted with good parents.
