Making the Coconut Paste
Grind the grated coconut, green chillies and cumin with just a little water to form a coarse paste.
Set aside.
Preparing the Papaya
Peel the papaya and cut into 4 pieces.
Discard any seeds.
Scrape off the white layer on the inside.
Cut into 1" cubes.
Add the Papaya pieces about 1/2 litre water, salt and turmeric.
Cook covered till the Papaya is transparent and just done.
If you cut with a knife, it should be firm but go through the piece.
If there is excess water, drain it out.
Putting Together the Green Papaya Avial
Turn the heat to low.
Add the curry leaves, coconut paste and coconut oil to the cooked papaya pieces.
Mix well.
Add the dahi and salt (if required) to the Avial.
Mix well.
Add just a little water, if the Avial is dry.
Cook over low flame for 3-5 minutes.
Turn off the heat and cover.
Let the Green Papaya Avial Kootan rest for about 10 minutes.
Serve with hot steamed rice!
