Prawn
Jhinga
10 g1 medium prawn (about 10 g)
Typical medium prawn weight.
Instead of Prawn
Nothing truly replaces prawn's sweet shellfish flavour; firm white fish is closest.
King prawnUse the same weight; cut large ones into 2 cm pieces. Sweeter and firmer; cook 1–2 minutes longer.
Firm white fish filletUse the same weight, cut into chunks. Add 3–4 minutes later; milder and less sweet, and it flakes easily.
Small prawnUse the same weight; they cook faster, so add 2 minutes later. More numerous and slightly sweeter.
Vegetarian swaps
PaneerUse the same weight; cube and add in the last 3–4 minutes. It gives body but no shellfish sweetness.
MushroomUse the same weight; quarter and cook 5 minutes. It releases water, so reduce liquid slightly.
Cauliflower floretUse the same weight; parboil 5 minutes, then add. It needs a little longer than prawn and absorbs the gravy well.
