1. Wash and peel the green papaya, then cut off the stem. At this stage, you can cut the papaya in half to remove the seeds. I simply shredded (using a vegetable shredder - but a large grater will also work) from the outside, working my way in (working around the "core").You can alternatively use a knife to cut the shredded pieces. To do this, use your knife to make cuts (around ½ inch deep) into the side of the papaya, side by side. Then use your knife or a vegetable peeler to cut ribbons over this section. Where you made the slices into the flesh, it will automatically separate into ‘shreds’ (see images on blogpost for guidance).
2. Similarly, shred the carrots and slice the tomatoes in half. If you have to use larger tomatoes, then slice them into small pieces.
3. Prepare the tamarind. If you don’t have tamarind paste, you can soak the actual fruit in hot water, and it will become pasty (the soaking water can then still be used to cook with).
4. Add in just a handful of the carrots and green beans and use the pestle to mash them lightly.
