Green papaya is used quite a lot in Bengali cuisine. This
recipe is one among many from my husband's childhood favourites, made tastier by the fact that the papaya in question was mostly stolen from the groundfloor neighbour's fabulous kitchen garden. Who then, got the whiff & sent his children upstairs for lunch! Some neighbourly relationship;-))
