  1. i too luv papaya thoran. but at my home instead of grating it, its cherandal-fied,like what u do with a coconut. n my mom also crackles some rice int( i am not too fond of that). this n chundum payarum is my favourite…

  2. How I wish you hadn’t said that-it tastes much like cabbage thoran..tell you what,I disliked papaya when I was young and amma used to feed me this thoran saying its cabbage thoran and I finished off the whole lot placed on my plate.My brothers still make fun of me due to this..bah!!I am not talking to you!!

    The plate looks really inviting though..!!
