I couldn't find papaya, so I substituted mango, but the result was fabulous. This dish is filled with flavour, yet it's not overpowering. The sweetness of the fruit just bursts through the earthiness of all the spice, and the peas provide the perfect little pop with all the softer textures in this dish. I did add more lime juice than required—I used the whole lime in fact—but I do really like that pronounced tartness. I didn’t have grapeseed oil and used olive instead, and this worked fine. While not called for in the dish (and most likely not authentic Indian), I think some toasted pecans wouldn’t go amiss. [Tamiko L.] This made a lovely side to barbecue chicken.
