Lamb with fat

Mutton

weighed in g; no spoon or count conversion needed

No vegetarian swap gives lamb fat's richness; raw jackfruit with ghee is closest.

• 
  Lamb breast

  Use the same weight; very fatty. Skim excess fat and cook about the same time.

• 
  Lamb shoulder

  Use the same weight; well marbled but slightly leaner. Add a little ghee if needed.

• 
  Lamb rib with fat

  Use the same weight; more bone, so adjust cooking time and skim fat.

• 
  Raw jackfruit

  Use equal weight; simmer 25–30 minutes. Add ghee to mimic the fat and richness.

• 
  Potato

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

• 
  Mushroom

  Use equal weight; brown well and add 10–15 minutes before the end. Add ghee for richness.
