Papaya chutney (Papita chutney)

Papaya chutney is a traditional chutney made with grated papaya fruit as the main ingredient. Other ingredients usually include mustard seeds, asafoetida, turmeric powder, salt, water, and green chili peppers. There are many papaya chutney variations made with different additional ingredients such as curry leaves, sugar, lemon juice, and ginger.

The ingredients are cooked, then blended until slightly smooth or coarse, and the chutney is usually served as a spread or a dip, but it's also used as an accompaniment to gathiya, roti, and snacks. It is believed that the best papaya chutney has flavors that are sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy.
