Instead of Tandoori chicken
ChickenUse the same weight of cooked chicken, toss with 1 tsp tandoori masala and a little oil; if raw, cook through first.
Chicken tikka breastUse the same weight; already spiced, so warm through rather than long-cook, and adjust salt.
Vegetarian swaps
PaneerUse the same weight, cut into cubes and shallow-fry or grill; it needs only 5–8 minutes, so add near the end.
PotatoUse the same weight, parboiled and cubed; simmer 10–12 minutes longer than cooked chicken.
Raw jackfruitUse the same weight, cut into pieces and boil until tender; simmer 15–20 minutes and add extra tandoori masala.
