How this is worked out
For a curry, allow about 150g of raw boneless chicken per adult — it shrinks a little as it cooks, leaving a satisfying amount of meat in the sauce. If you're bulking the curry out with lentils, chickpeas or lots of veg, you can drop to 120g; for big appetites or a meat-heavy curry, go up to 200g.
