It’s my pleasure to bring to you some amazing recipes using one of the most healthiest fruits - Papaya! A huge thanks to all those who tried hard to get hold of one, for racking your brains for a recipe and a special thanks to my sis and Nanditha for contributing not one, but two recipes! And for those who thought Papaya can only be cut and eaten just like that, here are some recipes to get you started on thinking otherwise. Let’s start the party with some drinks, shall we?
