RAW PAPAYA CURRY

PEPE'R DAALNAA( RAW PAPAYA CURRY WITH POTATO)
...
In my childhood I was forced to eat a lot of raw papaya( boiled or curried). My parents thought it good for our digestive system which was actually true. It's a natural laxative and very effective in cleansing your bowel. However one funny thing about being a kid is that you protest whatever your parents think is good for you. So however well cooked the curry was I do not recollect having relished the same as much as I do now. Surprisingly my daughter loves it. My mother used to make it little bland whereas I make it spicy with a sprinkle of freshly made bengali garam masala paste. I'm sure your kids would love it if you cook it the way I do.
