Popashpalache Amshi Kocchholu

INGREDIENTS:

1 medium raw papaya peeled and cubed
2 tablespoon(s) jaggery crushed or grated
salt to taste
2 cup(s) grated coconut
4 dry red chillies (whole) roasted in coconut oil
1 tablespoon(s) tamarind pulp
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 onion(s) chopped fine

DIRECTIONS:

Cook the raw papaya cubes in some water on medium level for about 5 minutes or till they are almost cooked. Add the jaggery and salt to taste. Cook further for about 3 minutes or till the papaya cubes are tender but not overcooked.
Meanwhile grind the coconut, dry red chillies and tamarind to a smooth paste with little water. Add the paste to the cooked papaya along with water just enought to make a medium consistency gravy (not too thick nor too thin). Mix gently. Add salt if required. Bring to a boil and simmer for about 3 minutes.
Heat the coconut oil in a pan. Add the chopped onions and fry on low level stirring frequently for about 4 minutes or till they are uniformly browned taking care not to burn them. Pour this over the curry and keep tightly covered for sometime before serving. Mix gently while serving.
