Fresh green papayas taste delicious in this traditional Bengali recipe from senskitchen. A ghonto is usually prepared with bananna blossoms or fresh carp heads, that is quite dry. In the non-vegetarian version cooked with fresh carp heads (muri ghonto), rice is added during the gravy as a seasoning. For bananna blossoms (mocha ghonto), finely chopped mocha is cooked with potatoes. Before serving, ghee is added along with powdered garam masala, as a seasoning. This ghonto is a treat for vegetarians and health gurus.
