Unripe papaya

Kaccha Papita

3 g1 teaspoon

9 g1 tablespoon

500 g1 medium green unripe papaya

Standard small-to-medium raw green papaya weighs ~500 g | Grated/diced raw papaya; 1 cup diced ≈140 g.

Nothing matches the dual nature of unripe papaya's powerful papain meat-tenderising enzymes and firm, neutral crunch in cooked salads.

• 
  Plain yogurt

  Use equal weight when needed as a meat tenderiser in marinades; softens meat effectively via lactic acid, though it lacks the enzyme strength of papain.

• 
  Cabbage

  Use equal weight, shredded, when used raw or stir-fried in slaws and sambharo. Provides similar crunch, though it is slightly softer and sweeter.
