Carrot

Gajar

2.5 g1 teaspoon

8 g1 tablespoon

60 g1 medium carrot (about 60 g)

USDA medium carrot about 61 g; grated carrot about 2.5 g per level teaspoon.

Instead of Carrot

Turnip
Use the same weight; peel and cut as for carrot. It is less sweet and slightly peppery, so add a pinch of sugar and expect a softer, more earthy result.
Potato
Use the same weight; cut into similar pieces and add 5–10 minutes' extra cooking. It gives bulk but no carrot sweetness or colour.
Courgette
Use the same weight; cut a little larger and add near the end. It releases water, so reduce other liquid slightly and expect a softer texture.
