The recipe lists Salt at to taste.

onion → shallot. Shallots are sweeter. Use the same volume, or a little extra onion if that is what you have. chilli (paprika or chilli flakes) → paprika or chilli flakes. Paprika is milder and sweeter. Add cayenne if you still want heat. garlic (garlic powder or a pinch of onion) → garlic powder or a pinch of onion. 1 clove ≈ ¼ tsp garlic powder. The fresh bite will be missing. tomato (passata or canned chopped tomatoes) → passata or canned chopped tomatoes. Canned tomatoes are often better than pale fresh ones out of season. chicken → tofu. Press firm tofu, marinate as you would the chicken, and cook until browned. This is an adaptation, not the original dish. cream (whole milk + a knob of butter) → whole milk + a knob of butter. Thinner and less rich. Reduce a little longer if you need body.
