Raw Papaya Sambharo - Gujarati style

 

          Raw Papaya Sambharo is an accompaniment that is traditionally served with fafda, which is a deep fried savory dish. Sambharo can also be termed as a chutney or salad that goes well with either dhokla, thepla, chapatti, paratha or as a side dish with dal-rice combo. It can also be had as it is just like a salad. 

          Healthy and nutritious, it can be prepared in a jiffy as it has very few ingredients. It is cooked al dente, so it has a crunch in every bite. The use of green chilies can be adjusted accordingly. In the absence of fafda, I enjoyed this amazing dish with Middle Eastern Lavash bread. So give this dish a try by checking out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this regional recipe. 




  • half of a medium raw papaya, grated 
  • 1 tbsp. oil
  • 1/2 tsp. mustard seeds
  • 2-3 green chilies, slit
  • 1 sprig curry leaves 
  • 1/4 tsp. asafoetida
  • salt to taste
  • 1/4 tsp. turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp. lime juice
  • 1 tbsp. coriander leaves, chopped





          Remove the seeds and the pith from the papaya. Then grate it and keep aside. 

          Heat oil in a pan and temper with mustard seeds. Allow it to splutter. 

          Then add the green chilies, asafoetida and curry leaves. Sauté for a few seconds. 

          Now add the grated papaya, salt to taste and turmeric powder. Mix everything well and continue to stir fry for 2-3 minutes.

          When done, add the lime juice and garnish with coriander leaves. Serve with  fafda in a typical Gujarati style. 

          You can also relish it with thepla, dhokla, chapatti, paratha, dal-chawal or as a salad.
