Instructions

1. Peel the chayote, rinse it and chop it into pieces about ¾ inch.
2. Heat the oil in a pan, add the ginger, garlic and green chili, and sauté for 1 minute.
3. Add the chayote and salt, and stir-fry on medium-high heat for 4 minutes.
4. Stir in the chili powder, cumin and turmeric, then add the tomato and stir-fry for 4 more minutes.
5. If the pan is dry, add about ⅓ cup water.
6. Cover and cook until tender but not mushy, about 10 minutes, adding a splash of water if the pan dries out.
7. Meanwhile, coarsely crush the sesame seeds (or roasted peanuts) with a mortar and pestle.
8. Turn off the heat once the chayote is tender to your liking. Sprinkle with the crushed sesame or peanuts and the shredded coconut, and garnish with coriander leaves.
