Thai Raw Papaya Salad

In a pounding bowl/mixer, pound the garlic pearls and chilli paddis well

Add the chopped tomato and pound well(you may also leave it chopped roughly)

Add the grated papaya and mix well

Mix in the salt, sugar and lemon juice

Finally add the peanuts and give it a good mix before refrigerating it for at least 15-20 minutes

Serve chilled garnished with chopped parsley and sliced lemons

Tip: You may choose to increase or decrease the quantity of chilli paddies as per your taste preferences

Tip: in case you do not find chilli paddis, try replacing with 1-2 dry red chillies (you may need to use a mixer to grind it)

Tip: For the non vegetarian version, add cooked baby crabs, prawns into the salads besides the other ingredients and serve with a semi boiled, salted egg
