King prawn

Bada Jhinga

30 g1 king prawn (about 30 g)

Typical jumbo/king prawn weight.

Nothing replicates prawn's sweet shellfish juice; firm fish is the closest non-vegetarian swap.

• 
  Tiger prawn

  Use the same weight; split or halve if large. Same sweet shellfish flavour, similar cooking time.

• 
  Large prawn

  Use the same weight; they may need 1 minute less cooking. Slightly less sweet.

• 
  Firm white fish fillet

  Use the same weight, cut into chunks and add 2-3 minutes later. Flakes easily and lacks prawn juice.

• 
  Paneer

  Use the same weight as the prawns, cubed; simmer 8-10 minutes so it absorbs the masala. Do not overcook or it toughens.

• 
  Button mushroom

  Use the same weight, halved; cook 5-7 minutes. Adds savoury juice but no shellfish sweetness.

• 
  Cauliflower floret

  Use the same weight, blanched; simmer 10-15 minutes. Needs longer than prawns and absorbs spice well.
