Papaya is a magic vegetable which can be consumed in both ripe and green unripe form.But unlike the ripe papaya which can be consumed as a fruit,the unripe papaya needs to be cooked.It has a collection of enzymes papain and chymopapain which can improve your digestion converts proteins into essential amino acids, cleanses the colon.It is also known to reduce wrinkles and hold your youth.Papayas are rich sources of antioxidant nutrients such as vitamin C, flavonoids, folate, potassium, etc and is good for heart diseases.
Due to the presence of these enzyme papaya juice can be used to marinate meat and is used to reduce the cooking time for the mutton which takes long time to become tender.The mutton recipe which I am sharing makes a light mutton gravy which is extremely tasty and easy to digest.I am also adding a whole garlic into the gravy,which will add to the taste and even you can have that garlic after the dish is cooked or you can discard it.
