If you want the food to be extra spicy, add some chopped chilli together with the curry powder so to cook into the sauce. Remember you can use the papaya natural meat tenderizer paste with any red meat such as beef, veal, pork, lamb, mutton, goat, rabbit, boar and deer. There is no point in using papaya paste for chicken, turkey or duck meat as these get easily soft while cooking, depending on the cooking technique and heat.
