meat

Lamb shoulder, hind leg and chop

Mutton

Mixed lamb cuts; weighed in kg.

No vegetarian swap matches mixed lamb cuts; raw jackfruit plus ghee is closest.

• 
  Lamb shoulder

  Use the same weight; use all shoulder. Allow 10 minutes longer and skim the fat.

• 
  Leg of lamb

  Use the same weight; leaner. Reduce cooking by 10–15 minutes and check.

• 
  Lamb chop

  Use the same weight; much faster, so check 30–40 minutes earlier.

• 
  Raw jackfruit

  Use equal weight; simmer 25–30 minutes. Add ghee for richness.

• 
  Potato

  Use equal weight; parboil and add 20 minutes before the end. Absorbs masala well.

• 
  Mushroom

  Use equal weight; brown and add 10–15 minutes before the end. Add stock for body.
