Description

Prepare to learn how to make the Atchara recipe, the Pickled Papaya you always love as a side dish.

Ingredients for Atchara—Pickled Papaya
  • 350 g Unripe Papaya (Shredded.)
  • 1 Small Carrot (Shredded. Based on the amount of the Papaya, we only use approximately 70 grams.)
  • 1 Small Bell Pepper (Slice into strips. Based on the amount of the Papaya, we only use approximately 18 to 20 grams. Color doesn't matter. But go with the red Bell Peppers if you want your atchara to be colorful.)
  • 0.5 Thumb-sized Ginger (Thinly sliced.)
  • 0.25 cup Raisins
  • 0.67 cup White Vinegar
  • 0.67 cup Water
  • 0.67 cup Sugar (Preferably the white one, but if the only available are the washed variants, that will do the job too.)
  • 0.25 tsp Iodized Salt (To mix with all the ingredients.)
  • 2 tbsp Iodized Salt (Used only for soaking the shreddedPapaya.)
Instructions
    How to Make Atchara, Pickled Papaya
  1. 1
    Prepare the Papaya and other Ingredients for Atchara Recipe
    • After shredding and placing the Papaya in a mixing bowl, toss and turn it with two tablespoons of salt. Make sure you've distributed the salt all over the shredded Papaya. Set aside for 1 to 1 and ½ hours.
    • Using a colander, rinse the Papaya in running tap water.

    • Drain the Papaya even further with the help of a muslin cloth. If you do not have this type of cloth yet, use a clean handkerchief instead, it will still get the job done. The hanky should be strong enough when you squeeze the Papaya in it, though.
    • Combine Papaya, shredded carrots, bell pepper, ginger and raisins in the mixing bowl.
    • Place these ingredients in clean jars or containers with resealable caps that can be tightly sealed. Later, we'll add the syrup to each of these jars.
  2. 2
    Prepare the Syrup for our Atchara
    • Initially, combine water, sugar and salt in a saucepan.
    • Dissolve the sugar and salt by continuously stirring these ingredients with the water.
    • Now, add the vinegar. Turn on the stove and bring the liquid to boil. Simmer for 5 minutes. DO NOT STIR when doing this process.
    • Let the syrup cool down first before pouring it into the Atchara jars or containers.
    • After pouring the syrup equally into every jar or container with the Papaya and the rest of the ingredients, close the lids tightly and refrigerate, preferably for two days before consuming.
