Swaps and substitutions
For a lighter option, swap the chicken thighs for chicken breast if you want less richness while keeping the same protein focus. For a vegetarian version, use firm tofu or chickpeas in place of the chicken and choose a vegetable stock concentrate that suits your diet.
What to serve with it
Serve with cucumber raita, a crisp green salad, or warm naan for a more complete spread. A lemony chutney or extra lime wedges also brighten the rich spices and balance the sweet-savory notes.
