Raw Papaya Curry ( Hara papitha sabzi )



Ingredients :

  • Green Papaya - 1 small
  • Onion - 1
  • Tomatoes - 2
  • Ginger Garlic Paste - 1 tbsp
  • Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
  • Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp
  • Hing ( asafoetida ) - a pinch
  • Turmeric Powder - 1/4 tsp
  • Coriander Powder - 1 tsp
  • Red Chili Powder - to taste
  • Salt - to taste
  • Chopped Cilantro - for garnish.
  • Oil - 2 tbsp

Directions
  • Peel the papaya, take off the seeds and chop.
  • I cooked it in a pressure cooker to save some time. Heat oil in the pressure cooker, splutter mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Add hing.
  • Saute ginger garlic paste and chopped onions.
  • Add chopped tomatoes and cook till mushy. Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, salt. Mix well.
  • Add a couple of glasses of water and chopped papaya.
  • Close the lid of the cooker and cook for 3 whistles or till the papaya is tender. Adjust seasoning.
  • Garnish with chopped cilantro.
You can cook in a pot , which will take a little longer than the pressure cooker. The method remains the same.
