When I make idlis, dosas or adais, I serve it with sambar, kurma or some kind of a chutney. Most of the times, I make the tomato chutney, it being the family's favorite. But in between, to break the monotony, I do try other kind of chutneys, made with different vegetables, chow-chow being one of them. For a change, I also added some sesame seeds, which really gave a nice taste to the chutney, try for yourself..
The other day, I was making some rotis and dal for dinner, and, coming to the vegetable part, I had a chow-chow and some beans in the refrigerator. Not wanting to make another dal or kootu with the chow-chow or a beans poriyal, I made this curry putting together both the vegetables, not really knowing what the end result would be. But, it turned out to be good and even worthy enough to be blogged here..
