Raw Papaya Kootu-Green Papaya Kootu Recipe

February 24, 2017 by PadhuSankar 4 Comments

Raw papaya (pappali kai in Tamil)  contains many essential nutrients and minerals which are good for our well being. It also contains active enzymes called papain, which helps improve digestive disorders. Being high in fiber content, they also help beat constipation. I make it a point to include raw papaya once in 15 days. This kootu made with raw papaya is very delicious and similar to chow chow kootu. Nobody will find the difference unless you tell them. Today we will learn how to make kootu with raw/green papaya following this easy recipe with step wise pictures.
