Papaya chutney, Seychelles

Seychellois papaya chutney, gluten-free

Papaya chutney is a sweet and sour recipe typical of the Seychelles, often used to accompany fish or chicken curries or grilled meats. Normally, we use green papaya but I made it with an almost ripe papaya, because it is difficult to find green papaya in France. The papaya combines perfectly with spices and lime for a balanced and delicious result, even when you are not a fan of papaya (this is the case for my husband who nevertheless appreciated this chutney). It's easy to prepare, naturally gluten-free and perfect for adding an exotic touch to your meals.
