Raw Papaya Salad

…..need to know (food details)

  • Number of people served : 5 to 6
  • Preparation time : 15 minutes
  • Serving size : 2 to 3 tablespoons

….and we need (ingredients)

  • Papaya grated 2 cups : Papaya which is generally a ripened food product is rich in fibre, Vitamin C and improves digestion. Here we use raw grated papaya which is quite like a less watery and less sweet but firmer melon.
  • Garlic chopped 2 teaspoon : Pungency is the reason why we use this allicin rich clove which combats sickness and common cold.
  • Black mustard seeds 2 teaspoon : Good for hair, skin and Vitamin A filled, we use mustard seeds here to bring out the pungency to an all new level.
  • Lemon juice 4 teaspoon : Sour effect of the dish comes from here and bring alongwith it, the Vitamin C benefits to eyes, hair and skin.
  • Mustard oil 2 tablespoon : Enhancing the mustard quotient in the grease too.
  • Basil chopped 1 teaspoon (use lime or cinnamon basil) : Anti aging, anti cancer, anti bacterial herb is a great garnish due to it’s sweet and mixed spice aroma.

….let’s cook ‘n roll (preparing instructions)

  • Heat the mustard oil in a skillet. Add the mustard seeds and wait for them to sputter on medium flame.
  • Add garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Now add papaya and saute for 5 minutes on medium flame.
  • Add lemon juice and mix well. Take it off the gas burner now.
  • Toss it in the pan to lighten and loosen it’s texture.
  • Garnish with the chopped basil and refrigerate.
  • Serve when mildly cold.

Storage : Can keep refrigerated for 1 week while using it.

Missing Something ? : You can add grated green chillies if your guests prefer so. Can’t substitute or afford to miss any further.

  1. This sounds really good. I only know the Thai/Lao version with lime, chilli, palm sugar, and fish sauce / fermented fish for umami flavour.

    This sent me down a rabbit hole of finding sources of umami in Indian food. Interesting to note that tomatoes have a little, but I was surprised to see that tamarind on the list – that explains the yumminess of sambar. Kokum also was on the list but the real surprise was karela.

    Somehow I don’t see papaya and karela salad getting to be a big hit on anyone’s table, though.

    1. 🙂 … Thanx. I know, there are always things that you want to replace considering own specific choice of the essence. I do things which sometimes go unconventional by adding in stuff which make them a hit on my table though. Tamarind in coastal food goes down very well in my kitchen so am inclined to adding it in wherever I get a chance 😀
