Ingredients
Ripe papaya grated or cut into small pieces, Sugar, Ghee, Food colour( Optional)
For garnishing
Badam cut into thin pieces, Pistachio, Cashew nuts.
Method
Heat ghee in a pan. Take Badam cut into pieces, ( preferably after removing skin)Pistachios cut and Cashews cut. Fry and keep aside.
In the same pan add some more ghee. Add the papayas ( I cut papayas into small pieces, can be grated also) . Sauté and cook well till ghee separates.
Then add Sugar( 3/4 cup for 1 cup of papaya if papaya is sweet, otherwise can add more) . I used brown sugar. Mix well. Can add food colour if you feel like either yellow or orange.( I didn’t add). Cook well . Add ghee in between. Keep stirring for about 10-15 minutes. Finally add the nuts.
Then grease a vessel/plate with ghee and spread on it. When a little cool, refrigerate it for an hour. Then remove.
Invert it over a plate and cut into pieces..
