Kerala Style Raw Papaya Stir Fry / Green Papaya Thoran / Omakka Thoran

Raw(green)papaya / Omakka (in Malayalam) / Papalikkai (in Tamil) is a rich source of dietary fibre, in addition to Potassium, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Folate.

Regular consumption of this nutritious vegetable will be helpful in reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and digestive tract disorders. 

Though we eat papaya fruit regularly since childhood, raw papaya as a vegetable and that it can be cooked as a tasty & healthy dish is something non known to many. 

Raw papaya is crunchy and tastes more like cabbage. 

I learnt this recipe from my friend Sindhu Menon; thank you Sindhu! 

Try this; you will like it!

Note: Pregnant women should consult with a doctor before eating raw papaya.
