Choko Salad with Green Chillies

2 lb chokos
1 tbsp white vinegar
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp freshly crushed garlic
1 medium onion finely sliced
1 tbsp chopped fresh green chillies
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp salt

Heat water in a large saucepan enough to boil all the chokos. Add salt and stir to dissolve completely. Add the chokos and boil for about 20 minutes or until tender. Remove from boiling water and allow to cool.
Peel and halve the chokos. Discard the seeds and cut into slices according to preferences.
Mix the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper to taste, freshly chopped green chillies (if desired) and sliced onions together.
Pour over the sliced chokos and carefully mix together without breaking the chokos.
