Whole chicken
Sabut Murgh
1200 g1 whole chicken (about 1.2 kg)
Typical Indian broiler whole chicken about 1.2 kg; rounded to two significant figures.
Instead of Whole chicken
Chicken piecesUse the same weight; joints cook faster, so reduce roasting time by 15–20 minutes and check at the bone.
Chicken breast and leg piecesUse the same weight; brown breast later or remove earlier as it dries out.
Chicken legUse the same weight; legs need 10–15 minutes more than breast, so cook to tenderness.
Vegetarian swaps
PaneerUse the same weight in cubes; add in the last 10 minutes of simmering so it stays soft.
PotatoUse the same weight, parboiled and halved; simmer 15–20 minutes until tender.
Raw jackfruitUse the same weight; boil until tender, then simmer 20–25 minutes so it absorbs the masala.
