In general, the basic portion for adults is 4-5 ounces of protein (chicken/beef/shrimp), 2-3 ounces of starch (rice/potatoes/pasta), and 2-3 ounces of vegetables.

If you are preparing for 10 people, I'd suggest preparing your recipe with 3 pounds of chicken or paneer, 2 pounds of rice or starch, and 2 pounds of vegetables.

Whenever you're portioning items for a dinner, begin with a calculator, not your stove. Start with a concerted effort to produce an exact amount based on your per-person estimates. Don't just "eye-ball" or guess, you'll have either too much or too little.

Thanks Very much ....
