Get a vessel and mix together grated pappaya, grated coconut, slit green chillies, curry leaves and required salt.
Step 2
Cover the vessel with a lid and cook in low heat.
Step 3
When the pappaya is done, remove the vessel from flame and set aside.
Step 4
Heat the oil in a frying pan and crackle mustard seeds. Pour the cooked pappaya into the frying pan and cook in low heat until dry.
