Seeme Badane Chutney (Chayote Squash Chutney)

Seeme Badane kai or Chayote squash chutney is a side dish and we can have it with rice, chapati, poori, dose or Idly. Seeme badane chutney can be done quickly and do not need much of ingredients and its tasty too.

Eating chutney (any) in first a few spoons is good for health. Eating coconut is very good for our health. Its healthy properties will surely take care of your health in many ways.
Yemmy Seeme Badane Kai Chutney will be definitely liked by all age group.
Preparing chutney from vegetables peel is not new. It is an oldest traditional way. Ladies in those days never used to throw away the peels, they knew it very well that vegetable peels contain rich minerals and vitamins. I learnt this habit from my doddamma. (Mother's sister). She is one of the best cook those days and even now I remember her way of cooking.
I have used the 1 full seeme badanekai for this " Seeme Badane Chutney".
Remember to soak any market bought vegetable in plain water for at least 20 minutes. These days the chemical spray is sprayed to keep the vegetable fresh, green and long lasting. 
It is an simple and yummy chutney and you can enjoy having it with plain hot rice and a spoon of fresh ghee or any other main dish of your choice.
I have avoided mustard seasoning and it is up to your choice.
