Vegetarian swaps
PaneerUse the same weight; cube and add for the last 5 minutes. It gives a soft, milky bite and does not need long cooking.
PotatoUse the same weight; parboil 10 minutes, then simmer until tender. It needs longer and makes the gravy thicker.
MushroomUse the same weight; halve or quarter and cook 8–10 minutes. It gives a savoury texture but releases water.
