Venison liver

weighed in g; offal not spoon-counted

Nothing truly replaces liver's irony, mineral flavour; the vegetarian swaps give texture but not that taste.

• 
  Lamb liver

  Use the same weight. Soak in milk for 30 minutes to soften the irony taste; cook 2–3 minutes less as it is tender.

• 
  Chicken liver

  Use the same weight. Milder and softer; cook 3–4 minutes less, do not overcook.

• 
  Pork liver

  Use the same weight. Slightly stronger; soak in milk first and cook 2 minutes less.

• 
  Paneer

  Use the same weight. Cut into 1 cm slices, fry until golden; cooks in 5 minutes, so add near the end.

• 
  Button mushroom

  Use the same weight. Quarter or slice, sauté until browned; cooks in 5–6 minutes, add near the end.

• 
  Potato

  Use the same weight. Boil and cut into chunks; add earlier than liver so it absorbs the masala.
