buy a whole choko from the store set aside indoors ( maybe in a fruit bowl ) and it will sprout a vine on its own Then plant the whole thing .. i have a posting becoming available, that will explain the process after that

Buy seeds online or buy a choko and wait until it starts sending out a shoot and then plant.
