Papaya Sambharo

There are few different methods to make this kacha papaya no sambharo.

Cooked one where grated papaya is sauted with green chilies and few spices. It is usually served warm.Uncooked one where grated papaya is just mixed with spices and salt. The simplest version and my favorite.Sweet one where the method is same as first one, but it has sugar and coriander added. Sometimes little grated carrot is also added.

Here I have shared the first two methods and not third one. When you go to the farsan shop to buy garama garam gathiya or fafda, you will sure get a complimentary side of this sambharo and fried green chili. And sometime they also give you fafda chutney too. Snacks like fafda, gathiya do not taste good without this side dish. Check out other sambharo recipes from the blogCarrot sambharo // Cabbage sambharo
