Instead of Chicken breast and leg pieces
Chicken piecesUse the same weight; cut to a similar size. Cooking time depends on bone; bone-in needs 5–10 minutes longer.
Boneless chicken thighUse the same weight if the recipe can be boneless; juicier and cooks 2–3 minutes longer than breast.
Chicken thighUse the same weight; bone-in takes 5–10 minutes longer. More flavour and less dry.
Vegetarian swaps
PaneerUse the same weight; cube and add in the last 5 minutes so it does not toughen.
PotatoUse the same weight; cube, parboil 8–10 minutes, then simmer 10–15 minutes longer.
CauliflowerUse the same weight in florets; cook 5–8 minutes until tender but not mushy.
