Kacche Papite Aur Matar ki Bhaaji

🇮🇳 Indian

Raw papaya and peas stir-fried with ginger, firm and faintly peppery. The kind of homely bhaji that disappears fastest off the thali. Serve hot with rotis, dal and a wedge of lemon.

Chef's tip

Taste as you go — chili heat, salt and sourness should all lift each other, not fight.
