Papaya Curry was made almost for the first time in my kitchen the other day. The recipe was shared by Jaya (read : Jaya's MIL) and the thought of adding the ingredients which she told me made my mouth water. So I had to try it out. I put aside all my apprehensions that papaya generates lot of heat etc etc..and the next veggie-shopping trip surely saw me get home a green papaya. S helped me peel, remove the seeds and the white center portion and also grated it for me. He likes to take the credit for the delicious curry :) on a rare occasion that he helps me in the kitchen!! The taste of this curry somehow reminded me of Mamidikaya Pulihora, as the spices are almost the same. The tangy flavor of tamarind gave this curry a unique flavor and sure is a winner, hands down!!
Ingredients -
Papaya grated 5-6 cups (medium size papaya)
Green Chillies Chopped 2-3
Tamarind Juice 2 Tbsp
Turmeric 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste
Seasoning (Oil 2 tsp, Chana Dal 1 tsp, Urad Dal 1 tsp, Jeera 1/2 tsp, Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp, Dry Red Chillies 1-2, Curry Leaves few)
Method Of Preparation -
Boil Papaya (al dente) in the microwave or stove top. Squeeze out the extra water and set aside.
In a wok/kadai, add oil and the rest of the seasoning. After mustard seeds pop and the dals are brown, add the papaya, turmeric and green chillies.
Stir well and squeeze in the tamarind juice and mix in salt as per taste.
Remove from fire and serve it warm with rice/roti.
