Instead of Skinless chicken thigh
Chicken thighUse the same weight; remove the skin before cooking. It is the same cut and needs the same simmering time.
Boneless chicken thighUse the same weight; it cooks faster, so reduce the simmering time by 5 minutes and check for doneness.
Skinless boneless chickenUse the same weight; cut into pieces and cook as directed. It may be leaner, so reduce cooking time slightly.
Vegetarian swaps
PaneerUse the same weight; cube and add for the last 5 minutes. It gives a creamy bite but less richness than thigh.
PotatoUse the same weight; parboil 10 minutes, then simmer until tender. It needs longer and thickens the gravy.
MushroomUse the same weight; halve or quarter and cook 8–10 minutes. It gives a savoury texture but releases water.
