Among all fruits I specially don’t like papaya that much, but I love Raw Papaya. My Maa used to cook lots of different kind of currys with raw papaya. Raw Papaya is very good for health also. Today is a veggie day for us, so tried my Grand Maa’s unique preparation Peper Sukto or Papaya curry with Mustard. It’s a very easy recipe all of us just loved it. You must try it once.

Sukto is one of a famous curry which is cooked with lots of different vegetable. But my Grand Maa used to make sukto with Papaya also. Sukto is a kind of starter with plain rice. My husband doesn’t like Raw Papaya but if I cook Peper Sukto he never says no to this.
