In a pressure cooker, heat oil and splutter the kalonji and green chillies.
Add the cut papaya and fry for a few minutes and then add all the dry masalas and salt except the garam masala. Put in Meduim - Low heat and let the papaya cook in the pressure cooker for about 10 minutes with the lid open.
Add about a cup of water and close the lid and allow for one whistle and remove from flame. Once you are able to open the cooker - sprinkle with the garam masala powder.
