meat
Goan sausage or chorizo
Goan Choris
Measured by weight; cured pork sausage.
Instead of Goan sausage or chorizo
No vegetarian swap gives the fermented pork and vinegar tang; use the closest meat option if you can.
Goan sausageUse the same weight, sliced. It is tangier and less spicy than many chorizos; adjust vinegar and chilli.
Pork with fatUse the same weight, chopped, and marinate with vinegar, chilli and garlic. Cook longer until tender.
Vegetarian swaps
PaneerUse the same weight as the meat, cubed. Add near the end and simmer 5 minutes only.
PotatoUse the same weight, parboiled and cubed. Add 10–15 minutes earlier than the meat.
Raw jackfruitUse the same weight, pressure-cooked until tender, then simmer 10 minutes. Meaty texture, but no fermented tang.
