Chow Chow Bath I know most of you may thinking a rice recipe with spices and chayote squash. When i was in Bengaluru when ever i go out for breakfast i used to see this breakfast variety in restaurant menu. Every time i thought of ordering this breakfast variety then some how i again go back to my Mysore masala dosa. and one fine day hubby decided to order this let's see what they serve. Finely our order came every thing was placed on the table and we both searching for chow chow bath we didn't find any bath in there. And we call the person who served us and asked that where is the chow chow bath. That boy laughed and show us a platter that is with savory upma and sweet rava kesari and coconut chutney. I was shocked what is this chow chow bath? he said yes madam this is chow chow bath. After I couldn't talk any thing and hubby was laughing any thing like that. But still iam in a doubt how can this will be chow chow bath.
After some time again i order this in a other restaurant same chow chow bath to clarify my dought again the same thing cam to my table with little difference upma with lots of vegetable and sweet rava kesari with pineapple pieces. that taste really awesome but still i didn't understand why they give a name chow chow bath for this combination of breakfast. If any body know that please let me know.
But the combination is just perfect. After that i became a big fan of this, when ever i go to bengaluru i make sure to order this breakfast with my all time favorite Mysore masala dosa.
Any way her have a look my favorite breakfast platter with chow chow bath
