Leg of kid or lamb
Mutton
Book already gives grams; whole leg size varies, so no piece weight.
Instead of Leg of kid or lamb
Leg of lambUse the same weight and cooking method; check tenderness 10 minutes earlier.
Leg of goatUse the same weight; cook 15–20 minutes longer, as goat is tougher and stronger.
Lamb shoulderUse the same weight; more fat and marbling, so cook 10–15 minutes longer and skim the fat.
Vegetarian swaps
Raw jackfruitUse the same weight, chunked; simmer 25–30 minutes. It suits slow-cooked curries well.
PotatoUse the same weight, in large chunks; simmer 20 minutes. It softens and thickens the sauce.
ChickpeaUse the same weight of cooked chickpeas; simmer 15 minutes. They hold shape and add body.
