Thanks for your lovely blog page(s)...Hi Archana ... Thanks for your lovely blog page(s). Despite my Maharashtrian sounding name, I am very much an Amchi-galo' - just attended the Konkani Sammelan in New Jersey 2012, last month.<br />Although male, I am actually a pretty good cook ( ... so he said modestly ... ;-) )... I had to be, because my wife can't cook for nuts ... she's an Adur, and we all know Adurs will eat anything their 'bai' makes, and never learn to cook anything themselves. ^-|-^<br /><br />Anyway, to come to the point, I have made Chow -chow before and just googled 'Konkani Chow-chow' ...and I got your site !!! So ... either the world is becoming VERY small, or we should be grateful for Sergei Brin's (Co-creator of Google - ) algorithm...<br /><br />I have a modest suggestion for your chow chow recipe - which if I remember right, was very popular among the caterer-cooks at weddings in the 1970's....<br /><br />The chow-chow I remember, was a little bit more runny ... like a Kyrus, whereas your photo shows it somewhat more dry. If I may, I would have like to add 1. one-eighth teaspoon sugar, 2 tablespoons of coconut cream ( wattil soyee ) and 2 tablespoons of ground Poppy seed ( Khus-Khus) and some tablespoons of water ( for grinding - ) so the whole dish would be a little more runny.... something a slice of bread could soak into.<br /><br />Best wishes for your blog, and to you personally.Girish Kulkarninoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538644334658502353.post-85663105797287618302012-08-16T23:23:10.899+05:302012-08-16T23:23:10.899+05:30lovely recipe. we call it squash here and generall...lovely recipe. we call it squash here and generally add this to stews, dals or sometimes to replace potato in a curry. will try this recipe soon. lovely click.Sayantani Mahapatra Mudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806613341538564779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538644334658502353.post-53846349139337840212009-09-25T05:29:37.297+05:302009-09-25T05:29:37.297+05:30My mom used to say that all these names (chow chow...My mom used to say that all these names (chow chow/song etc) have come from a large number of Konkanis who migrated back from Burma.
