 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2       md           Chayote squash
    1/2   c            Shredded coconut
  2                    Green chillies, crushed
                       Turmeric -- to taste
                       Salt -- to taste
                       Mustard
  1                    Red chilli
                       Urad dal
                       Oil -- (seasoning)
                       Curry leaves -- (seasoning)

 Peel skin of squash. Cube. Cook with a little water,
 turmeric and salt. When done yet firm, add coconut and
 green chilli mix. Pour seasoning on top. If there's
 more liquid it becomes kootu, if moist but not liquidy
 then poduthual.

 Variations:

 Can do plaintanos (raw, green or, if not there, very,
 very green chiquita bananas) for a vazhakai
 poduthual/thoran. Also can do red pumpkin/butternut
 squash similarly.

 An excellent and quick ckakka thoran is also possible.
 A Thai canned product is green jackfruit, already
 cooked. Just shred this by hand, prepare seasoning in
 5-6 tablespoons oil and toss crushed coconut and green
 chillies in. Salt. Stir well and remove when
 thoroughly heated through and still moist. This dish
 needs a fair amount of coconut, and the fresh one is
 preferred.
