We has to make our favorite recipe of pickle or recipe using pickles etc.   Lacto - fermented  or quick pickled . Our host is Camila of Culinary Adventures with Camila .

   Pickles has been a favourite in every cuisine . Pickles are a means of preserving the vegetables for the colder seasons when the fresh vegetables can't be sourced . Mostly pickles are made during summer season in India. There are many varities of pickles made in India.  I choose to make this quick raw papaya pickle.

  We have a papaya tree in our garden . We used to enjoy ripe papaya and I wanted to make a pickle with raw papaya.

  As this raw papaya pickle  is quick pickle , it can be relished once it is made.

Requirements :

1 cup chopped Raw Papaya
 Half tsp Red chilli powder 
Salt to taste 
Quater tsp Mustard seeds
2tbs Sesame oil
Half Lemon
To roast :
Half tsp Fenugreek 
Half tsp Mustard seeds

Method :

Dry  roast fenugreek and mustard seeds till the aroma comes , take care not to burn.
Grind the roasted fenugreek and mustard  seeds to a fine powder.
Heat a tablespoon of sesame oil in a pan , add the mustard seeds and let it splutter.
 Add the chopped papaya pieces and saute for ten minutes. 
 Add the chilli powder , salt and grounded fenugreek - mustard powder , mix well.
Take off flame and let it cool.
Add the lemon juice and remaining sesame oil , mix well. 
Indian Raw papaya pickle is ready to eat.
Serve with curd rice , lemon rice , roti or paratha.

Notes :

  Peel the skin of the papaya and wash it before chopping it into small pieces.

Increase or decrease the chilli powder according to the spice level . 

Tamarind paste can be used instead of lemon juice.
