edit Ingredients

1

medium raw papaya peeled and cubed

2

tablespoons jaggery crushed or grated

Salt

2

cups grated coconut

4

dry red chillies (whole) roasted coconut oil

1

tablespoon tamarind pulp

2

tablespoons coconut oil

1

onion, chopped fine

edit Preparation

Step 1

Cook the raw papaya cubes in some water on medium heat for about 5 minutes or till they are almost cooked. Add the jaggery and salt to taste. Cook further for about 3 minutes or till the papaya cubes are tender but not overcooked.

Step 2

Meanwhile grind the coconut, dry red chillies and tamarind to a smooth paste with little water. Add the paste to the cooked papaya along with water just enough to make a medium consistency gravy (not too thick nor too thin). Mix gently. Add salt if required. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Heat the coconut oil in a pan. Add the chopped onions and fry on low heat stirring frequently for about 4 minutes or till they are uniformly browned taking care not to burn them. Pour this over the curry and keep tightly covered for sometime before serving. Mix gently while serving.
