Instead of White fish fillet
Firm white fish filletUse the same weight; cut to the same thickness so it cooks evenly.
Boneless fishUse the same weight; check for bones and reduce cooking by 2–3 minutes if thinner.
Pomfret or haddock filletUse the same weight; haddock is softer, so handle gently and cook 2 minutes less.
Vegetarian swaps
PaneerUse the same weight, cubed; add near the end and cook 5 minutes only.
Raw jackfruitUse the same weight; boil until tender and simmer 10–15 minutes longer.
Cauliflower floretUse the same weight; parboil 5 minutes and cook until tender, about 8–10 minutes.
