PAPAYA BURFI
Papaya is rich in antioxidant nutrients such as carotenes, flavonoids, and vitamin C, as well as vitamin B (folate and pantothenic acid). It is also a good source of fiber and minerals such as magnesium. Together, these nutrients help improve cardiovascular health and protect against colon cancer.
Papaya has so many benefits and I always want my kids and hubby to have it . I love papaya but you know most of the kids run away from papaya as my kids do.
Anyhow Moms are smarter than kids who know how to make them eat the thing they hate or run from. Hide those things in some innovative dishes and feed them is what we smart mom do.
I recently invented this papaya recipe which can be eaten as halwa or burfi and you know what? No one can guess that It is Papaya burfi . Its taste and look similar to Karachi Halwa.
