Chicken pieces
Murgh Tukde
Weighed in grams; no spoon or count unit given.
Instead of Chicken pieces
Chicken thighUse the same weight; cut to similar size. Juicier and forgiving; bone-in needs 5–10 minutes longer.
Chicken breastUse the same weight; cut to similar size. Cooks faster and is drier, so reduce time by 3–5 minutes.
Boneless chicken pieceUse the same weight; cooks faster than bone-in, so reduce time by 5–10 minutes.
Vegetarian swaps
PaneerUse the same weight; cube and add in the last 5 minutes so it stays soft.
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 just tender.
