Rock-sugar crystal bulk estimate; irregular crystals, so level tsp ≈5 g.
Instead of Sugar candy
Candied sugarUse the same weight, crushed; it gives a similar crystalline sweetness and slight crunch.
Granulated sugarUse the same weight, crushed or dissolved; sweetness is close but it lacks the slow-melting candy texture.
JaggeryUse the same weight, grated; it adds a darker, molasses-like flavour, so use in dishes where that suits.
