Based on other comments, I used 1 medium/large papaya, 1/4 cup of mayo, 1 T of curry powder, and added a few hemp seeds for texture. It was great by itself, in a salad, and in wraps with lettuce. -
Made this up the night before and allowed it to compleltely chill. While it was "good" after just making it needs to sit awhile and allow the flavors to penetrate the fruit. I used about 3/4 of a medium size papaya and 1/2 cup mayo with about 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh curry powder. Everyone thought it was nice and refreshing. -
I made this recipe using 2 papayas, 1/2 c mayonnaise and 1 T curry powder. For the amount of papaya that I ended up with, I could actually have used 1/4 c mayonnaise to 1 T curry powder. I really enjoyed this recipe, unfortunately the rest of my family didn't like it. They like mayo, but thought this had just a little too much mayo taste for them. I want to try this again using creme fraiche instead of the mayo. Also, I'll increase the amount of curry powder.

Australia
I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving.
I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start.
Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog!
Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years!
I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
