Instead of Green papaya

Raw papaya
Use the same weight; peel, deseed and grate or dice as the recipe asks. It behaves almost identically.
Unripe papaya
Use the same weight and prepare in the same way; choose a firm, pale-fleshed fruit.
Green mango
Use the same weight, peeled and deseeded, but expect a sharper sourness; reduce lemon or tamarind in the dish slightly.
