    After preparing pappali kai poriyal, I had half of the vegetable leftover. I wanted to try kootu with it. I prepared as the same way I make most of the other vegetables kootu. It turned out to be awesome. I loved the colour too. It is very simple to prepare, you can dump dal and papaya together in cooker and make it in a jiffy.

      Will Raw papaya be bitter? I did the poriyal yesterday and was experiencing the bitterness.
