Minced lamb

Use the same weight; it is the same thing under another name and cooks identically.

Use the same weight; it is leaner, so add 1 tbsp oil and cook 3–4 minutes less.

Mince at home; use the same weight. Keep some fat for juiciness and cook until browned.

Use cooked chickpeas at the same weight as the mince; simmer 10 minutes so they absorb the masala. Mash a few for body.

Mince the same weight; cook 15–20 minutes longer until soft, then mash lightly to resemble mince.

Crumble the same weight; add in the last 5 minutes only, as long cooking makes it rubbery.
