Instructions for Assamese Amitar Khar Recipe

    1

    To prepare Assamese Amitar Khar Recipe, get ready with all the ingredients. Pound the panch phoran in a mortar and pestle such that it becomes easy to diffuse the flavours in to the recipe.

    2

    Heat a kadai with cooking oil. Once the oil is hot, add panch phoran pounded spices, bay leaf, and dry red chilli. Let the seeds splutter.

    3

    Once it splutters, add raw papaya, green chillies.

    4

    Mix them well and cook with the lid covered until the papaya pieces are softened and cooked well. Stir often to avoid being burnt at the bottom. (You can add a tablespoon of water to prevent this)

    5

    Cook until the water evaporates completely from the papaya.

    6

    Serve Assamese Amitar Khar Recipe with steamed rice and Thekera Tenga Recipe.
