Sold by weight; no teaspoon or piece conversion requested.
Instead of Crabmeat
CrabUse the same weight, cooked and picked. Same flavour but more work; check for shell.
White crabmeatUse the same weight. Sweeter and paler; add near the end so it does not break up.
PrawnUse the same weight, chopped. Firmer and sweeter; cook 2 minutes until just pink.
Vegetarian swaps
MushroomUse the same weight, finely chopped. Cook 5–7 minutes; add a little soy sauce for savouriness.
PaneerUse the same weight, crumbled or finely cubed. Simmer 8–10 minutes; richer and firmer.
ChickpeaUse the same weight, cooked and lightly crushed. Simmer 10 minutes; earthy and bulky.
