Papaya Kootu Recipe with step by step pictures. Raw papaya kootu made with raw papaya, coconut masala and seasoning.
Papaya Kootu Recipe
Amma makes kootu kari often with lots of vegetables. She makes it with cucumber, pumpkin and so many veggies. She usually makes this to serve with any spicy gravies like pulikulambu or something like that. This is so healthy recipe, you can make it with zero oil too, just skip the seasoning part.
Amma used slightly ripe papaya for this, she loves the sweetness it gives the curry. But don't use ripe ones. You can use raw ones too in this recipe. I hope you will love this recipe and let me know how it turns out for you.
