Kerala Raw papaya mezhukvarti

 

Amma normally takes the raw papaya which is about to turn ripe. As it has little sweetness. Every household grows papaya tree. So it’s used as replacement to white pumpkin .This is a side dish accompanied with any curry. I love to have it with just curd rice. It’s a simple and easy recipe...
