Ingredients

680g green papaya (or 4 cups chopped)

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup onion (chopped)

3 teaspoons garlic paste

1 teaspoon ginger paste

2 stalks spring onion (chopped)

2 sprigs fresh thyme

2 tablespoons curry powder

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/2 teaspoon cumin powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 cup coconut milk

1/2 cup water

Directions

Cut the papaya in half lengthwise. Using a sharp knife, peel the thin green skin off.

Scoop out the white immature seeds (optional). Cut the papaya into approximately 1.5 cm cubes. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 2 minutes.

Add garlic paste, ginger paste, spring onion, and thyme. Cook for a minute, stirring.

Add the curry powder, turmeric, and cumin. Stir and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

Stir in the papaya cubes to coat with the seasonings. Add coconut milk, water, salt, and cayenne pepper.

Bring the curry to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 25-30 minutes. Mash some of the papayas for a thicker consistency.

Serve with cooked brown rice or quinoa.
