Basically, the taste is derived from my native South Indian cuisine. However, chutney or taste enhancer condiments are very generic and every region and state of India has their own little variations and types. This raw papaya chutney or popularly known as plastic chutney is from Bengali cuisine. Typically it is prepared for big occasions feast of its unique taste and appearance.

Additionally, with sugar syrup, it is later tossed with chillies which makes it a perfectly sweet, spicy and savoury chutney recipe.

Furthermore, some more related and additional tips, suggestions and variations to the classic plastic chutney. Firstly, the papaya has to be young and tender without any additional sweetness from the papaya fruit. If it is not raw or slightly ripe, it may literally dissolve and may turn into a halwa instead of chatni. Secondly, if you do not wish to slice the papaya thinly, you may grate it thinly which should also help in preparing the chutney. However, you need to be more careful as it may form a lump and may again dissolve. Lastly, if you wish to have it spicy and then less sweetness, you may reduce the sugar quantity. Also, you may use jaggery as an alternative to sugar to make it a healthy alternative.
