Peel the papaya and rinse under running water. Remove the seeds and shred the flesh with a grater. Set aside. Place the garlic cloves and chillies in a mortar and mash with a pestle until crushed into chunks. Add the papaya and the remaining ingredients and gently combine all with the pestle and a spoon. Serve cold.
