Kapplanga Thenga Aracha Curry/Green Papaya Curry


Kapplanga Thenga Aracha Curry/Green Papaya Curry

 Today's recipe is a humble green papaya charu curry.The chief ingredient is raw papaya and the curry base is a spiced coconut paste.Papaya is very common in Kerala and there are several recipes using green papaya.It is rich source nutrients and is widely known for its medicinal properties.My favorites is papaya thoran and this charu curry.It is a real comfort food and is served over rice. Have it with rice, vegetable thoran and pickle or spicy fish fry and it makes a perfect healthy meal.

Ingredients
Green papaya  cubed- 3 cup
Green chilly-4-5
Turmeric powder- 1/3 tsp
Salt to taste

To make the paste
Shredded Coconut- 1 cup
pearl onion- 4-5
(or a small piece of onion)
Garlic -2 cloves

For tempering
Mustard seeds- 1/2 tsp
Dry red chilly-2
Curry leaves- a few



Peel off the skin of the papaya and wash it under running water once again. Cut open the papaya and scrape off the seeds using a spoon. Now cut papaya into medium sized cubes. Cook this along with green chilly, turmeric,salt and a cup of water till it is done.
Make a fine paste of all the ingredients listed under 'to make paste' and add this into the cooked papaya. Adjust salt and also consistency by adding little water and simmer in medium flame for two minutes.Do not allow to boil,but make sure that the raw flavor disappears.
Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and when they splutter add curry leaves and dry red chilly and when it changes color pour over the curry and keep it covered till it is time to serve. Serve over rice.

Try this..
Hope you will all enjoy

Mushroom Kung Pao- Oyster Mushroom recipe

Mushroom Kung Pao Kung Pao chicken is one of my favorite takeout recipes, and this vegetarian version with mushrooms tastes just delicious. Mushroom Kung Pao is my best healthy weeknight dinner.

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa December has finally arrived and it means it is almost Christmas time! How many of you look forward to the Season of Joy! My birthday also comes in December, so it is a double celebration for me :) How is the Christmas planning coming along for everyone? It is exactly three weeks for Christmas and I am planning to share a few recipes for the holidays this year. This is the first one I wanted to share with all of you -Kerala style sweet delicacy- a real nostalgia, the Black Halwa. Halwas has always amazed me with its simplicity, unique texture and taste. It is a gel-like sweet candy that you can never stop eating. When making halwa there is a time-honored cooking technique and halwa making is time-consuming. So people simply prefer to buy it from the shop. But making your own is a rewarding experience. Now many of the traditional sweets are forgotten or get overlooked for fancier ones in bakeries. But that is not the case w...
