This works quite well with chicken breast fillets instead of tuna steaks (if you're trying to keep the cost down). Obviously you have to cook it for longer: I marinated the chicken in the sauce first; cooked it under foil (without the papaya) for 15 minutes; then removed the foil and added the papaya for the remaining 15 minutes... Overall, it's very good and pretty simple to make. All that fruit is very colourful and, of course, very good for you.
