Ginataang Papaya

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Ginataang Papaya or unripe papaya cooked in coconut milk is one of my favorite ginataan dishes. Green papaya has a good distinctive taste which I really like, and food cooked in coconut milk is something that I adore – no wonder, ginataang papaya is like heaven-sent.

Ginataang Papaya

Have you tried cooking ginataang papaya before? This ginataang papaya version makes use of salted dried fish, which is known as daing in the Philippines. It gives this dish its delicious flavor.

Aside from fish, you can also use chicken or pork as a substitute in this recipe – shrimp is also a good idea. I added malunggay (moringa) leaves to make this dish tilt to the healthy side. You can also use spinach as a substitute for malunggay.

I should warn you to keep track of your rice intake because this dish is too good that you can consume more rice than you usually do.

Tell me what you think about this recipe. I would love to hear from you.

Try this delicious Ginataang Papaya recipe. Enjoy!

    i have a small canteen, and i usually get ideas from your site. it turns out great all the time. For that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You saved me from a lot of ‘cooking dry spell’ days. This recipe I tried out of curiosity, and it came as a big surprise. It is bursting with classic filipino ginataan and my mom approved (which is saying a lot lol). More power and hats off to you Mr. Merano. You have been a part of so many families thru your website. God Bless you more.
