Thank u all dearies for ur encouraging words..
@parita , thanks..LoL , iam not a chef..I've mentioned cookking as my occupation , interest & hobby..Tat u've mistaken i think..;)Thanks dear , i've edited my profile 🙂
Sauting chayote only with oil or we have to boil it with water ?
Yes you should saute well till it cooks. No need to boil. If you want to reduce the oil, then you can boil with little water after sauting.
