Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ medium green papaya
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Peel the papaya and remove the seeds. Cut them into thin strips. You can also use a mandoline slicer to make uniform slices. Soak the papaya in cold water for 10-15 minutes.
- Combine sugar, water, and salt in a saucepan. Place it on heat and bring it to a rolling boil. Simmer for 1-2 minutes until the sugar dissolves.
- Drain all the water from the papaya and add it to the sugar syrup. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the papaya is fully cooked.
- Add lemon juice and let it cook uncovered for 1-2 minutes so that the chutney can thicken. Turn off the heat and let it cool down completely. Chill before serving.
Notes
- Cut the papaya into thin, uniform strips to ensure even cooking and a consistent texture in the chutney.
- Cook the papaya strips in the sugar syrup over low to medium heat to prevent them from breaking apart.
