Instead of Lamb rib chop
No vegetarian swap gives the bone-in chop texture; paneer or potato are closest for bulk.
Lamb chopUse the same weight; similar texture. Fry or grill 2–3 minutes less per side.
Lamb cutletUse the same weight; thinner, so reduce cooking by 3–5 minutes and check often.
Lamb ribsUse the same weight; more bone and less meat. Allow 20–30 minutes longer in curry.
Vegetarian swaps
PaneerUse 60–70% of the weight; cut thick slabs and sear first. Add 5 minutes before the end.
PotatoUse equal weight; cut thick slices and parboil. Add 15 minutes before the end.
CauliflowerUse equal weight; large florets, roasted first. Add 10–15 minutes before the end.
