Papaya is commonly used fruit in india...We can use this papaya for making thoran or we can have it as a fruit.I always miss my mom's papaya thoran.Its highly recommended that Pregnant woman should avoid this fruit ..
Today i thought of preparing this dish..We haven't had this for long time so for a variety i thought of adding this in our today's menu..If u like to prepare the thoran do not take the whole papaya take a half portion and rest keep refrigerate..you can use it within a week or two..
