Green Papaya Chutney

Updated: Sep 18, 2020


The Food Forest of the Thai Child Development Foundation has many, many papaya trees. And we use papaya as a vegetable when green unripe, or as a fruit when orange. Green papaya chutney is a great way to use that abundance of unripe papaya. We serve it as a crunchy salad at our buffet table. And as a spread with our flatbread.
