Hello Everyone,

Today im going to show you how to make pickled papaya or what we call Atsara. Atsara is a popular side dish that is a perfect pairing for roasted and deep fried meat dishes. The procedure is very easy.

First, get yourself a papaya, not the ripe one but the green one. You want to use the unripe papaya because you want it crisp and fresh just like a pickle.

To start, make sure to peel the papaya. Slice it open with a knife then remove all the seeds.

Dump everything together into a colander then rinse it off with boiling water(no need to boil in a pot).
