Instead of Papaya with skin
Green papayaUse the same weight; peel and deseed if the recipe does not want the skin, and cook as directed.
Raw papayaUse the same weight; peel and deseed, then cut to the same size. It cooks similarly but is less firm.
Pumpkin or ash gourdUse the same weight; it is softer and sweeter, so cut into slightly larger pieces and shorten the cooking time.
