What is Papaya Meat Tenderizer?
Green Papaya also famous as raw papaya (kacha papita) contains Papain that can easily break meat fiber naturally. Raw papaya basically has no odor and taste. Almost tasteless. So it will not make any difference in your dish taste if you are using it as a tenderizer. It will just make your food soft and tender.
As I mentioned most of the time that I learned cooking from my mother. She always uses papaya paste when making kabab and barbeque dishes. She normally stores it in the freezer and uses it in a cube form when needed.
By using raw papaya paste, you can make:
- soft and tender kabab
- tender meat
- Juicy and chewy steaks
How Long Does It Take to Tenderize Meat?
It depends upon the meat structure. If you are using ground meat then it will take 30 to 40 minutes to tenderize meat. If you are dealing with tough meat in curry then use a spoon of papaya paste or just add a fresh cube of papaya to tenderize meat in a few minutes. In the same way, you can add a spoon of papaya paste to your meat marination to make it soft, tender, and juicy. If you leave your meat in marination for a long time then it will be more tender and break without effort.
