Hello everyone, how are you all doing I hope we all doing great.
Today am bringing a very new recipe to me. I know that papaya and rice is a very good combination but cooking only papaya as stew that I have not try.
My mother in-law came to visit us once she comes she will bring some food stuff for me from the village.
She was not feeling so strong but she came with few things including papaya she came with so many of them.
I and my husband love eating papaya and we have eat so many of them and one of the papaya wanted to spoil.
I was thinking on what to do with the papaya because my mother in-law hate to waste food talk more of papaya she brings all the way from village I then remember papaya stew.
The day I eat this papaya stew in my village from my mom and I told my husband about it he said that we will try it one day.
My mother in-law was surprise to hear that there is something call papaya stew but when I finish cooking my papaya stew she eat more than me and my husband.

STEP 6
This is the last step where you will test your papaya stew to know if every thing is okay and then you add water. I love my stew to be thick that is why I don't use much water in preparing stew.
Cover your pot and allow it for 3 to 5 minutes your yummy and super delicious papaya stew will be ready.
