PAPAYA MOLAGOOTAL

Papya molagootal  is made with raw papaya, some lentils  and mixed in coconut gravy.  It is mild in taste and goes well with chapati and rice.  

The raw papaya  or green papaya has many nutritional benefits.  It is full of essential nutrients and enzymes to promote digestive health.   It also contains Vitamin C, E & A, folate.  Presence of antioxidants burns the calorie and extra fact deposits in the body.  We can make salads, juice, chutney, and can add in sambhar, and any other veg preparation too.

Apart from the above, leaves works as a cure for  menstrual pain. It cures diseases viz. indigestion, constipation, acid reflux, heart burn, irritable bowel syndrome, stomach ulcers and gastric problems too.  It controls the flow of blood to maintain proper blood pressure.  It protects heart diseases.

Recently, it is  said that the juice of leaves increase the platelets of the  dengue  patient which  is true in  my case.  

I love the chutney made out of this which the shop keepers give along with the khaman dhokla.  See the combination of the dish.  As the besan is likely to produce gas, the chutney served along with it balance the same.

Now let us look at the recipe:
