Raw Papaya Stir Fry ( Papaya Thoran)

Overview
Raw Papaya is high in fibre and nutrients so is very good for you. This dish is very easy to prepare, has simple few ingredients and can be made quickly. Serve this as a side vegetable dish. Shredded raw papaya is used for this dish. I have used a designer peeler to shred the papaya flesh into thin strips. Make sure you just steam the papaya and do not over cook it.
