Hi suparna,
thanks for the mail; Had a tight time-table since two weeks (kids and bday parties & school activities).... so, couldn't post anything; but i was following all of you (didn't have the time to step in to leave a word :) but as you see, i'm back now
Papaya and coconut fry, interesting combination! haven't tried it.
and call me vinolia.
Love raw papaya..I too have posted one simple recipe of raw papaya. Stir fry looks yumm..
This is such a new idea ...yummy looking !!
Recipe sounds great Suparna...like the addition of coconut....it would have given a nice flavor to the curry.
My mom used to make this often. Reminds me of home.
LOoks yummy..adding coconut gives a nice flavour n taste to curry na!
Mom used to make something like this during seaon..Looks yum SUparna..:)
Just had some ripe papaya's now..:)
Wow...I have never cooked papaya. Your preparation looks delicious!
I can get the raw papaya but never cooked anything! New and delicious curry!
OMG,what a unique recipe..till date i never knew what else to do of the papaya,which looked ripe from outside ,but after being cut,if its unripe,it lands straightaway on my face(face mask)or in dustbin.
Glad that i stumbled here,so next time when it turns out unripe,i know instead of cursing the vendor i can try out this dish
Thats a nice combination in the dish
Unique marketing strategy to place it on the matri site :)) I've never eaten raw papaya, need to see if I can find one here.
