  2. Hi Pari, thanks for visiting my blog.Chayotee in tamil is called bangalore kathrikai(brinjal). This is a guava shaped vegetable quite big in size of a big guavaand available in India with small thorn like surface. It is very commonly available. We even make a gravy dish with dal and this vegetable which is called kootu. I am sure after u make it u will enjoy tasting it.
