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.

Note: Traditionally, Assamese use a pinch of soda to this recipe, but I have skipped it.
