Raw Papaya Subji

When it comes to adding variety to your meals and also making them healthy, I always turn back at our Indian traditional recipes. One such is this Raw papaya subji, that makes it eating raw papaya so easy. Raw papaya also helps in digestion along with providing vitamin A, C and many other micronutrients. 

I personally don't prefer counting nutrients and vitamins of any vegetables and fruits, as nature is the best nutritionist and balances it all for us. I believe as long we consume it in moderate quantity all fruits and vegetables will always provide benefits. So let's get going with our recipe.

Ingredients:

1. 1 small raw papaya 

2. 2 medium onion

3. 2-3 green chillies chopped 

4. 3 tbsp grated fresh coconut 

5. 6-7 curry leaves

7. pinch of sugar

8. 1 tbsp lemon juice
