After preparing kootu ( lentil gravy) from chayote, I reserved the peel for preparing chutney. Having prepared chutneys from the peel of varied veggies like raw banana,ash gourd, pumpkin,ridge gourd,I tried chayote peel for the first time.This chutney has a subdued flavour. While choosing chayote,make sure that peel is smooth and free from tiny thorny structures. Because ruggard peel doesn't impart a smooth texture to the chutney.
INGREDIENTS
CHAYOTE PEEL- 1 CUP
SALT TO TASTE
OIL- 4 TSP
INGREDIENTS TO ROAST AND GRIND
URAD DAL- 4 TSP
GRAM DAL- 4 TSP
RED CHILLIES- 6 NOS

METHOD
Wash the peel thoroughly and wipe it and chop it to smaller pieces and keep it aside.
In a pan add oil and roast gram dal,urad dal,red chillies,asafoetida,tamarind.Allow the ingredients to cool.
In the same pan add the remaining oil and saute chopped peel till it slightly changes colour. Allow the contents to cool,
In a mixer grinder add sauteed peel,roasted lentils,salt and other ingredients and grind to little coarse paste .
