I remember the my childhood days, I used to love eating papaya a lot when it's in season. After I came to US, I tried to get it from the grocery stores, but it never tasted liked the one I used to eat back in India. I like it to be ripe and soft and swell. You can actually find out from the smell whether it's tastes good and sweet or not. But this time I got this from a local fresh food market, the raw one and left on the counter to ripen. First I was not sure how it would be, but it tasted way better than the ones I tired before in the US. So I tried this recipe, it's simple ingredients, added just to enhance the flavor of the colorful, vibrant sweet fruit and with a mind to keep it healthy too.
