Substitutions
chicken → tofu
Press firm tofu, marinate as you would the chicken, and cook until browned. This is an adaptation, not the original dish.
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.
onion → shallot
Shallots are sweeter. Use the same volume, or a little extra onion if that is what you have.
yoghurt (milk + lemon juice (buttermilk-style)) → milk + lemon juice (buttermilk-style)
250 ml milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice, rest 5 minutes. High suitability for baking; not a yoghurt raita.
