Sri Lankan Gaslabu mallum (Raw Papaya with grated coconut)

This raw papaya mallum (Amu Gaslabu mallum) will sure add different flavor for your meal. Papaya is not only for drinks or salads. You can also cook a delicious side using raw papaya.

If you are bored of same recipes every day for your Sri Lankan meal, try cooking a raw papaya. Gaslabu mallum or raw papaya mallum is one of the dishes I tasted at my home in Sri Lanka.

My mother cooks this sometimes, so I remember the taste. As I’ve shared most of the Sri Lankan recipes in this food blog, sometimes I am lack of new recipes. Spending another 1 month long holiday in Sri Lanka, I get more chances to try and taste different Sri Lankan recipes. This papaya mallum is such a recipe I tried recently.
