Here are a couple of pepe (papaya) recipes from my mother, Pratima Gupta.

Peper daalnaa

Procedure: 
2 large potatoes diced
equal quantity of diced green papayas
2 medium tomatoes, chopped finely.
1 bay leaf
1/2 tsp grated ginger
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
2 green chillies

Method:
Fry the potatoes and papayas lightly and set aside.  Heat oil in pan.
Add the cumin seeds, bay leaf.  Next add the green chillies and ginger
and fry for about one minute in high heat.  Add tomatoes and stir till
a paste is formed.  Add potatoes and green papaya and cook over medium
heat with a little water, till tender.  Sugar and salt to taste.
Generally this dish calls for a liberal addition of sugar.
