What is Sambharo?

Sambharo is a Gujarati term that refers to a warm stir fry salad of Grated/sliced vegetables, served as a side dish with various Gujarati Snacks and meals. It is a traditional sambharo recipe of Gujarati cuisine.

In the Papaya Sambharo recipe, we grate the raw papaya and temper it in oil with mustard seeds, asafoetida, green chilies, turmeric powder, salt, sugar, lime juice. It is stir-fried and cooked until the crunch of Raw papaya is maintained. Here is the video recipe:

Usually, I prefer green chilies instead of red chili powder for spiciness. I like the yellow color of sambharo. You can also make this sambharo by slicing the raw papaya instead of grating. (but it takes more time to cook)

Papaya sambharo is also known as Kacha Popaiya no Sambharo or papaya chutney.

Imp Note: Always pick fresh Green color super firm papaya.

Varieties:

You can also make Sambharo with other varieties of vegetables, among which cabbage, green chilies, carrots, tindora (ivy gourd), Turiya ni chhal (ridge gourd peel), and raw papaya sambharo are the most popular ones in Gujarati cuisine. I’ll soon post recipes for the same.

Being a Gujju, I cannot live without Thepla, Debra, Dhokla, Fafda-Jalebi, methi na gota,  Ganthiya, Khandvi, Undhiyu, Khaman, and the list goes on. With all these dishes, I like to have sambharo along with it, as it makes the dish very refreshing and tasty.
