Instead of Flat fish fillet
Firm white fish filletUse the same weight. If thicker than the flat fillet, cook 2–3 minutes longer per side.
SoleUse the same weight. It is delicate, so reduce cooking time by 1–2 minutes and handle gently.
Pomfret or haddock filletUse the same weight. Haddock is firmer, so cut into similar-thickness pieces so it cooks evenly.
Vegetarian swaps
PaneerUse the same weight in 1 cm slabs, press dry, and shallow-fry 2–3 minutes per side; add the sauce late so it stays soft.
AubergineUse the same weight in thick slices, salt for 10 minutes, pat dry, and shallow-fry. It cooks in similar time but is softer.
TofuUse the same weight, press dry, cut into 1 cm slabs, and fry first; add near the end so it does not disintegrate.
