Many of us get those 5 pm hunger pangs. Whether you’re a kid, a working professional or a homemaker, early evenings is a time for a small chai/coffee break to unwind a little and refuel your body till it’s dinner time. Most of us head to the canteen and or go to restaurants to eat our favourite fried wada pavs and samosas. Or then we dig into chips and farsan packets. All of these unhealthy snacks add unnecessary calories. It’s best to cook a quick snack at home. This papaya kebab with pineapple salsa by Chef Kunal Kapur, Masterchef India Judge, is easy to make, healthy and more importantly delicious. Did you know that raw papaya is as nutritious as ripe papaya? Raw papaya can help you lose weight, improve your digestion, beat constipation and has plenty of nutrients to keep diseases away. Make this in the morning and carry it in your dabba to eat it later. Check out the recipe.
