Peel the papaya and cut it lengthwise.

Drain water and use it for cooking dal or curry as the water is full of nutrition.

When the aroma starts coming up, put the chopped chillies and fry for half a minute. Then put the chopped onions and fry till transculent. Then add the tomato cubes, taking care not to mash them too much. Fry them for one minute.
After that, add the mashed papaya and keep stirring it. Next put salt to taste, a pinch of turmeric powder and break a green chilli for flavour.
When everything is assimilated and oil starts coming out from sides, put a few more curry leaves, stir and let it rest for 5 minutes.
