Papaya thoran

Method

1. Peel and finely grate the papaya and set aside.

2. Heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan and toss in the mustard seeds, red chillies and curry leaves. After a few seconds add the shallot and green chillies.

3. Fry for about a minute before tipping in the papaya. Stir and cook for 3-4 minutes before adding the coconut. Warm the thoran through and serve straight away.

Cooks Notes:
Grated coconut and raw papaya can both be found in ethnic grocers
