Bold and Spicy is the taste of raw papaya. Green papayas, those that are not ripe, are eaten in some countries in salads, curries and soups but they should be boiled before eating them. Young leaves and stems are also cooked as vegetable.

Green Papaya is also used in Thai Cuisine. The papaya is a source of  iron and calcium a good source of  vitamin A, B and Riboflavin and an excellent source of vitamin C. It is speculated that papayas are not supposed to be eaten by pregnant women which may lead to miscarriage. So people who are not pregnant please start eating papayas green Or ripen. Please click here on wikipedia.org for more information.

I love the grated raw papaya chutney which is served with hot samosas and wadas in some shops at Mumbai. Next time I will surely make this chutney with hot hot samosas yummy my mouth is watering already. The best part is my hubby loved Raw Papaya Vegetable.

Had purchased these from my regular vegetable vendor. I wanted to make them in a different style and preparation. So made these with some Indian spices infused in grated fresh  coconut. Raw Papaya Vegetable has a hint of south Indian + goan preparation and tastes great with steamed rice.

    That’s so unusual – to use an unripe fruit and cook it like a vegetable but then again it probably isn’t unusual in Asian cuisine. It looks exactly like potato in the photos.
