Lamb rib with fat
Mutton ribs
Book measures lamb by kg; no spoon or piece count needed.
Instead of Lamb rib with fat
No vegetarian swap gives the fat-and-bone richness; raw jackfruit with ghee is closest.
Lamb ribsUse the same weight; similar fat and bone. Cooking time is about the same.
Lamb breastUse the same weight; fattier and bonier. Skim the fat and allow 10 minutes longer.
Lamb with fatUse the same weight; cut into even pieces and brown well. Keeps the richness but loses the rib shape.
Vegetarian swaps
Raw jackfruitUse equal weight; simmer 25–30 minutes. Add a little ghee to mimic the fat.
PotatoUse equal weight; parboil and add 15–20 minutes before the end. Absorbs fat and masala.
MushroomUse equal weight; brown well and add 10 minutes before the end. Less rich, so add ghee.
