Raw papaya Shami kabab

We love all types of kababs. Either it's Veg or Non-veg. Whenever we plan a menu for party, we make sure to serve tempting and innovative starters. Shami Kebabs are very popular as a starter or a snack. It is moreover a Non-veg starter. This time I prepared it with Raw papaya. It has a good story behind it. One day I bought stiff papaya from Market to make Jujups. But when I cut that, it was very raw. So I was confused….. What should I do with this….grate it & make paratha or make muthiyas  like lauki. But suddenly idea of kabab came to my mind and I prepared it.
