SEEMEBADANE KAI PALYA/STIR FRIED CHOW CHOW SABZI/SEEMA VANKAYA KOORA

Stir frying is a quick and nutrient saving method for preparing vegetables. This stir fried chow chow (Chayote) is my version to make it simple, easy and to add benefits of spices to the dish. This dish can be served with chapathi and paratha as a dry vegetable accompaniment, with simple rasam rice or even curd rice.
