Notes
1. To shallow fry these rosti you may use any cooking oil or butter, however I found it tastes even better when cooked in ghee (clarified butter). But then it won't be considered Vegan.
2. You may increase oe decrease the proportions of raw papaya, sweet potato and potato according to your choice.
3. Since i have used homemade vegan Red Thai curry paste, you may go for store bought one.
