Stir-Fried Raw Papaya / Kaplanga Mezhukkupuratti Recipe

November 24, 2015 22 Comments

Amma makes a mean raw papaya mezhukkupuratti. We often use raw papaya grown in our frontyard for this but since I live in the land of raw papaya salads, its not hard to find it here in vegetables stores.

Look! Smoke! I love the effect. It wasn’t super intense because the stir-fry had spent some time on the table while I fixed the lens, etc. If its fresh out of the stove, the effect will be nicer!

Stir-Fried Raw Papaya / Kaplanga Mezhukkupuratti Recipe
Serves: 2
Source: Amma
Ingredients:
1 medium-sized raw papaya
A generous pinch of turmeric powder
Salt to taste
1 tbsp (coconut) oil
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
6 shallots, crushed
1/2 tsp minced garlic
3 dry red chillies, broken into halves
A few curry leaves
How I Made It:
1. Peel the papaya and cut into thin pieces. Boil in sufficient water along with turmeric and salt until the pieces are soft. Ideally, add about 1 cup water and add more if needed. This is better than having to drain excess water. 
2. Heat the oil in a pan and add all ingredients listed below oil. When the mustard seeds begin to pop and the shallots and garlic give out a nice flavour, add the cooked papaya. Stir-fry for another 5-6 mins and remove from fire.

Serve hot with rice and gravy of choice.

    The first picture is so rich in colour and texture.. I like the steam rising out of your dish.. All it needs now is the aroma to somehow come out of the picture.. If you can manage to bring THAT also into the picture….it would be lovely 🙂
    Beautiful shot, Nagu! Am sure the dish would have tasted as good as it looks.

    Great pictures…I like any kinda stir fry with raw papaya and make a similar version , but without shallots and without boiling the pieces…this one looks nice.
    Coincidentally , we had raw papaya stew for lunch today ..my fave dish with this veggie. Salads too i love.
