Refer to the picture for the size of each Papaya Cube.Remove Seed and also remove the soft white inner skin from the Papaya.Wash Papaya thoroughly and peel Papaya Skin using a peeler.However, I have decided to prepare multi-colored Tutti Frutti for Pasta since I am not much willing to give her candied papaya available in the market as I am not confident on the colors used in market bought Tutti Frutti. Recipe of Tutti Frutti that I found on the internet is really easy and can be prepared with minimal ingredients but is time-consuming! When I told Mehebub about my Tutti Frutti venture he didn’t even believe that candied papaya is made of Papaya and as usual was not confident about it 👿. We both played the colour game and enjoyed a lot! 🙂 After getting her colorful Candied Papayas Pasta was excited about anything and that made my day. I’ve prepared Red, Blue, Green, Orange and White Candied Papaya.

My venture started on Friday night after returning from office and it took me 2 long days to get my multi-colored Tutti Frutti. In fact, I had a weird idea about it that those are a by-product of Areca nuts as Red Tutti Frutti is often used in “Meetha Paan” (stuffed Betel leaf) and in Bengal those are known as “Misti Supari”! 😯 What a pathetic thought! However, after observing Pasta’s excitement over the sweet and cute things, I started exploring the internet and what I found is hilarious! It is nothing but a by-product of raw Papaya or it is better to say Indian Tutti Frutti is Candied Papaya! Use of Tutti Frutti is quite common in Indian desserts and cakes but I never thought of preparing those at home before. I found Pasta was super excited with tiny colored things than her portion of Ice-cream! I and hubby started playing a color game with her with the Ice-cream and she enjoyed that game a lot and even after returning home she was trying to recall colors!

A few days back we were having Tutti Frutti Ice-cream in a nearby Ice-cream parlor.
