Finish and Garnish
Prawn Sukka (Kolambi Sukka): Replace oysters with an equal amount of cleaned and deveined prawns. Adjust cooking time as prawns cook faster, typically in 5-6 minutes.
Clam Sukka (Tisrya Sukka): Use fresh clams (with shells) instead of oysters. Steam the clams separately until they open, discard any that don't, and then add them to the masala at the end.
Mushroom Sukka: For a vegetarian version, use 500g of button or cremini mushrooms, quartered. The cooking process remains largely the same.
