Use the same weight; stir in a pinch of ground cinnamon and ground clove and leave for 10 minutes before using.

Use the same weight; add the spice pinch and a little soft brown sugar if the recipe expects sweetness.

Use the same weight; brandy is fruitier and less sweet, so add a pinch of ground cinnamon.

Same weight of peeled, stoned flesh, blended smooth; add 10–20 g sugar if the fruit is not fully ripe.

Same weight, blended with 20 g sugar; fine in lassi and drinks only — the flavour is clearly different, so not for mango desserts.

Use equal volume or weight; slightly sweeter and less pungent, but otherwise an imperceptible swap.

Use 25% of the weight; imparts dry, fruity sourness, best stirred in right at the end of cooking.

Use 50% of the weight; delivers pleasant fruity tang but turns pale sauces considerably darker.

Use the same weight; reduce other liquid by about 10%; flavour changes.

Use the same weight; less neutral and slightly less sweet.

Use 75% of the weight, dissolved in liquid; adds no moisture.

Use the same weight, deseed for less heat, and chop as required.

Use the same weight, deseed if you want it milder. Heat is gentler and flavour greener.

Use 70% of the weight and stir in earlier so it distributes evenly. Adjust salt.

Use the same weight; crush if needed. No change in the dish.

Use the same weight but chilled; there is no ice crunch and it dilutes the dish faster.

Use one wedge per wheel as a garnish; squeeze lightly over the dish if you want more lime flavour.

Use the same number; it is less sharp and slightly sweeter, so adjust any extra lime juice.

Use 70 to 80% of the weight; stronger and less fruity.

Use the same weight; milder and less aromatic.

Grind to the same weight, using 70 to 80% of the recipe weight; a rough stand-in only.
