USDA poultry weight basis; measured by weight only
Instead of Boneless chicken leg
Boneless chicken thighUse same weight; thigh is the closest in juiciness and cooking time.
Boneless chicken breastUse same weight but reduce simmering by 5 minutes, as breast cooks faster and dries out.
Boneless chicken pieceUse same weight, cut into even pieces; adjust cooking so all pieces are similar in size.
Vegetarian swaps
PaneerUse same weight, add in the last 8–10 minutes; it will be softer and milder than chicken.
MushroomUse same weight, sauté first and simmer 10 minutes; it gives a savoury texture but less body.
ChickpeaUse cooked chickpeas at same weight, simmer 15 minutes; the curry will be thicker and more filling.
