Green Papaya Curry

I have been wanting to post this recipe from the past 1 week. I always enjoy making this green papaya curry. There are not much spices used and hence it is very healthy too. Now off to the recipe:

Ingredients:

For popu/tadka:

Chana dal - 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Split urad dal - 1 tsp
Curry Leaves
Oil - 1 tbsp

For the actual recipe:

Green papaya - Medium size - 1 (cut this into 1 inch cubes)
Onion - Medium size - 1
Tomatos - 2
Chana Dal - 1/4 cup
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Red Chilli powder
Salt to taste

Method:

1. Heat oil in a frying pan. Put chana dal, mustard seeds, urad dal and cumin seeds and curry leaves.
2. Add the onions and turmeric powder (Tip: It is always good to put turmeric powder after onions, otherwise its nutritional values may be lost). Add salt to sweat the onions. Also, add the red chilli powder.

3. When the onions are golden brown color, add the tomatoes and fry them until they are mushy. And then, add the chana dal.


4. Pour enough water and pressure cook the papaya. You can serve this with rice or roti.
