Vandya from Veggies unlimited had blogged about the health benefits of the delicious papaya. The humble papaya is loaded with vitamins and is rich in calcium phosphorous and iron. Her post encouraged me to be innovative with the fruit and I’ve posted 2 recipes of papaya which are very easy to make and taste good.
Go ahead and try them and make papaya a part of your daily diet.
Hot & Sweet Papaya Thoran

Deepa, I've never heard of thoran before..isit some what like koosambri? I should really thank you for all this. Never expected that you'll readily accept my request.
ReplyDeleteVandya, thoran is a dry keralite dish which you can make with any vegetable like carrot, beans, cabbage... It's like how you have poriyal in tamil but its made differently by grinding coconut, green chilles, jeera, garlic & adding to the veg.
