Papaya – Berry Shake

Papaya is considered to be the fruit of the angels for its soft, butter-like texture and sweetness. Papayas are so rich in antioxidant nutrients like carotenes, Vitamin C and Flavonoids. They are fiber rich fruits. These nutrients said to help in protection against colon cancer and for a healthy cardiovascular system. 

Even though I know a lot of these health facts about Papaya, I never tried this wonderful fruit before. Somehow, I neglected it. But now I determined that I should eat papaya often for the all the nutrients it possesses. 

Cucumber – Potato Stir Fry

This is a delicious combination of potato and cucumber which is very easy to prepare with less work. For this curry, I used English Cucumbers instead of Lemon Cucumbers. So we can use both types of cucumbers, whichever are available at the time. This goes well with rice as well as chapathis.
