Instead of Skinless bone-in chicken thigh and drumstick
No vegetarian swap gives the bone-in chicken flavour; add extra stock for depth.
Skinless chicken thigh and drumstickUse the same weight; same cut and cooking time.
Skinless chicken leg and thighUse the same weight; larger pieces may need 5–10 minutes more.
Bone-in chickenUse the same weight; cut into thigh-sized pieces and remove skin. Same result.
Vegetarian swaps
PaneerUse 70% of the weight; cube and add for the last 10 minutes. Soft and rich; no bone stock.
PotatoUse 80% of the weight; cut into large chunks and add early. Simmer until tender; check at the chicken’s usual end time.
Raw jackfruitUse the same weight; parboil or use canned drained jackfruit. Simmer 20 minutes longer than the chicken to soften.
