Clean and peel the fresh raw papaya nicely.
Cut in thin strips just like noodles. I use a jullienne grater. You can also cut with a knife.
Also cut carrot in noodle shape.
Mix both papaya and carrot julliennes.
Chop red chilli and garlic cloves.
In a mortar and pestle add in chopped garlic, chilli, roasted peanut, salt and sugar and crush well.
Transfer to a bowl and add soya sauce and lemon juice. Mix well.
Add thinly sliced tomato and mix well.
Now add this mixture to the papaya -carrot mixture.
Tear some mint leaves and add.
With a spoon mix everything very well. Adjust the seasoning in this stage.
Cover and keep aside for 10-15 minutes to enhance the flavour.
Spicy raw papaya salad is now ready. I served the salad in a letuce leaf and sprinkled some roasted peanuts.
