Lemon sole
300 g1 whole lemon sole (about 300 g)
Typical whole market lemon sole about 300 g.
Instead of Lemon sole
SoleUse the same weight; cook for 2–3 minutes less if the fillets are thin, as sole overcooks quickly.
Flat fish filletUse the same weight; score thick fillets and simmer gently for 5–8 minutes until just flaking.
Firm white fish filletUse the same weight; cut into similar-sized pieces and cook 2–3 minutes longer than sole.
Vegetarian swaps
PaneerUse the same weight, cut into cubes; add 5 minutes before serving so it softens and takes on the curry.
Raw jackfruitUse the same weight, parboiled for 15 minutes; simmer in the curry for 15–20 minutes until tender.
MushroomUse the same weight, thickly sliced; sauté first, then simmer for 5–7 minutes so it keeps some bite.
