#CA26 - This is yet another traditional and a simple homemade raw papaya stir fry which is a vegetarian version. It is cooked with some fried bori in the local lingo, meaning vadis or dried lentil dumplings. 'Chechki' means dry, so the raw papaya is grated and stir fried with a tempering of nigella seeds and then cooked with salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder, green chilies and roasted coriander-cumin powder.
The end product is garnished with chopped coriander leaves and ghee. The latter can be substituted with raw mustard oil for an authentic touch. It is best enjoyed with hot steamed rice or as a side dish with chapattis or parathas.
