Tiger prawn

Use the same weight; cook 2–3 minutes until just pink. Same sweetness and bite.

Use the same weight; slightly less sweet, so cook 1 minute less.

Use the same weight; they cook in 1–2 minutes, so add them later.

Use the same weight, cut into 2 cm cubes; add 5 minutes before the end. Firmer and absorbs masala well.

Use the same weight, halved or quartered; cook until the water evaporates, 5–8 minutes. Meaty but softer.

Use the same weight; parboil 5 minutes and add 8–10 minutes before the end. It needs longer than prawn.
