Instructions

  1. Add enough sunflower oil to a pan for deep fat frying and heat on a medium to high heat.
  2. Meanwhile, take a small bowl and mix your yoghurt ingredients together.
  3. Sprinkle corn flour onto a large serving plate and add your chayote wedges.
  4. Move them around with yoır hands until they have a light coating.
  5. Add one wedge to the oil to check if it's hot enough. If it bubbles and rises to the top, add the rest of your wedges.
  6. Depending on the size of your pan, you may need to do this in batches.
  7. After 4-5 minutes, when your chayote is browning a little, remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
  8. Serve your fried chayote squash with the yoghurt sauce.

Notes

  • If you are in Turkey, looking for chayote, you need to look for Rodos Kabağı. They are in season during the winter months.
  • If you are elsewhere, the chayote squash also has other names: Christophine Ch-Cho, Pipinola, Pear Squash, Vegetable Pear, Choko.
  • As with all our recipes, calories are meant as a rough guide only and will differ depending on the size of chayote you use, how you slice them and also the yoghurt brand.
