Keri Papaya Chinn or the Mango papaya salad is a popular street food accompaniment in the state of Gujarat in India. Shredded, thin strips of both the fruits, seasoned with salt and a little spice is served with fafda, samosa or any other savory snack you fancy having.
I find it to be a refreshing addition to any savory Indian meal. It is easy to confuse this with a thai green mango salad, and I think it might actually be a good substitute as is. The one thing I love about this salad is how simple , yet flavorful this salad is.
For the Friday’s Power food blog group we had the Papaya as our powder food. Papaya is an excellent source of vitamin A and vitamin C. It is a very good source of folate and potassium. In addition, it is a good source of dietary fiber, vitamin E, and vitamin K. Excellent for digestive and heart health, papaya is also known as a good source of fiber.
