Instead of Skinless firm white fish fillet
Firm white fish filletUse the same weight; remove any skin and cut into even pieces. Cook gently for the same short time.
Skinless boneless fish filletUse the same weight; check for bones and simmer 5–8 minutes until just opaque. It may be softer, so stir less.
Firm white fishUse the same weight; clean, skin and cut into chunks. Cooking time is similar, but check for bones.
Vegetarian swaps
PaneerUse the same weight; cube and add for the last 5 minutes. It gives a firm, creamy texture and will not flake.
TofuUse the same weight; press, cube and add for the last 5 minutes. It is softer and breaks easily, so stir gently.
MushroomUse the same weight; halve or quarter and simmer 5–8 minutes. It gives a savoury texture but releases water.
