i never use to prepare this homemade tutti frutti for myself and always buy it from the local indian grocery store. the main reason that i was unaware of the recipe until i saw it on wikihow page. i was really surprised to learn how easy and simple recipe it was. i always thought it was prepared with chopped berries or fruits. but never had any clue about raw papaya. without any due, i had to try it and post it with a video. but it took me several attempts to master this recipe as my initial attempts failed to get the desired texture and colour. but i was really happy with my third attempt and hence sharing the same with video.
furthermore, some easy and important tips and suggestion while preparing the tutti frutti recipe. firstly, i have added artificial colours to get bright and attractive colour but does not have any influence on the taste. hence if you do not wish to use same, it can be safely ignored. alternatively, you can use natural colours like saffron, turmeric or even beetroot juice. secondly, size of tutty fruity is open-ended and hence you can cut the papaya into a desired shape and size. lastly, refrigerate and store these in an airtight container or sealed polythene bag for longer shelf life.
