Instead of Skinless boneless chicken breast
Boneless chicken breastUse the same weight; it is the same cut without the skin, so cook exactly as directed.
Skinless boneless chickenUse the same weight; cut to the same size and cook as directed. It may include mixed white and dark meat, so it stays juicier.
Boneless chicken thighUse the same weight; it is juicier and needs 3–5 minutes longer simmering. Reduce oil slightly if the sauce looks fatty.
Vegetarian swaps
PaneerUse the same weight; cube and add for the last 5 minutes. It stays firm and creamy, but the dish will be less juicy.
CauliflowerUse the same weight in small florets; parboil 5 minutes, then simmer until tender. It needs 5–10 minutes longer than breast.
ChickpeaUse the same weight of cooked chickpeas; simmer 10 minutes to absorb the sauce. It gives a firmer bite and a nuttier flavour.
