Lamb testis

Kapura

30 g1 testis

Typical lamb testis about 30 g.

Nothing truly replaces the spongy texture of lamb testis; mushroom is the closest.

• 
  Lamb kidney

  Use the same weight; clean and cut. Firmer texture; cook 5–8 minutes longer.

• 
  Liver

  Use the same weight; softer and stronger in flavour. Cook briefly so it does not toughen.

• 
  Mixed offal

  Use the same weight; gives mixed textures. Adjust cooking time to the firmest pieces.

• 
  Mushroom

  Use equal weight; button or oyster mushrooms give the closest spongy texture. Add 10 minutes before the end.

• 
  Paneer

  Use 70–80% of the weight; cube and add in the last 8–10 minutes. Gives soft bulk, not offal texture.

• 
  Potato

  Use equal weight; parboil and add 15–20 minutes before the end. Firm, mild swap.
