Chilli Powder - Half tea Spoon
Oregano Herbs - Half tea spoon
Peppercorns - 1/4 tea spoon (Crushed)
Salt - As per taste
Oil - 1 tea Spoon

Method:

Chop Papayas into diamond shape, in a bowl sprinkle Chilli powder, oregano, salt & crushed peppercorns over the papaya & toss, after a minute long of tossing drizzle a tea spoon of oil. Let it rest for an hour.

After an hour, preheat Oven in grill mode at 180 degree for 5 minutes, then arrange the papaya pieces on the grill stand & let it grill for a period of 5 minutes.
