Pappaya Thoran is a traditional Kerala-style stir-fry made with raw (green) papaya and a coarse coconut mixture. It is a nutritious, fiber-rich dish often serv11ed as a side with steamed rice and moru curry (buttermilk curry) or sambar.

Since raw papaya has a neutral flavor and a firm texture, it absorbs the aromatics of the coconut and spices beautifully.
