RAW PAPAYA PARANTHAS
I am not a great fan of papaya, but at times I feel like having it especially on days I feel I should be eating healthy!, sometimes however I really enjoy some chilled sweet ripe papaya and feel how could I not like this??A very long time ago I had tasted kacche papita ka parantha (raw papaya parantha) and I remember I liked the taste so I thought of making these today.
Apart from being an excellent source of Vitamin A, it also contains the digestive enzyme-"papain", raw papaya is very good for tenderizing meat and if applied on the skin leaves it smooth and acne free!
Grated raw papaya -ready for stuffing into paranthas
Ingredients-
- Raw papaya- 1 medium sized
- Coriander leaves- a handful, chopped
- Garam masala- 1 tsp.
- Red chilli powder- 1/2 tsp
- Ajwain -1/4 tsp.
- Salt to taste
- Wheatflour for dough
Method-
Grate the papaya and squeeze out excess water, add all the other ingredients, mix well and keep aside.
Knead dough the usual way , stuff with the prepared raw papaya stuffing, cook on a hot griddle (tawa), smear with some pure ghee on both sides cook till golden brown.
Raw papaya paranthas -ready to eat with pickle, yellow butter and curd
These paranthas turned out so delicious it was hardly possible to discover it's basis, and I can bet that if you don't tell someone what they are stuffed with, no one can guess!
These are off to lovely Nags for AFAM-Papaya

Beautiful paranthas. I too hate ripe papaya. Can't stand it. Hopefully raw papaya doesn't smell or taste like the ripe one. Will try this
Lucky you!! I used to cook with those in India, haven't seen those here!:)
wow! papaya parathas. How innovative, Bindiya! I hope I get a raw papaya here. I will surely make them.
These are great. If you use the papayas that are just beginning to ripen (still firm but pale pinky-orange) these parathas taste lovely.
Wow...everyone seems to be getting great ideas with papaya
Never thought of Papaya Paratha. With each event, creativity is in full flow in our blog group.. Thats nice! Very creative paratha indeed!!
Hi Bindiya...would have never imagined raw papaya parathas! These do look great! YUM YUM! Love the kashmiri yakhn too. Cheers
hmm..papaya n parathas!! never had this combo...but sure does look good!!
I'm discovering new ways to have papaya.
Great idea! I'll try these when I can find come green papaya. :)
