TANDOORI ROAST CHICKEN

Steps:

• Mix the marinade ingredients with 2 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Slash the legs of the chicken a few times, then rub the marinade all over, including under the skin of the breast. Marinate in the fridge for up to 24 hrs.
• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the onions, lemon halves and ginger in a roasting tin. Sit the chicken on top and roast for 1½ hrs or until the thigh juices run clear when tested with a skewer.
• When the chicken is done, lift out of the tin, sit in a new dish, cover loosely with foil and leave to rest. Fish out the ginger from the tin and discard. Scrape out the roasted middles from the lemons into a food processor, add the onions and any pan juices, and whizz to a purée. Scrape the purée back into the tin and sit on the hob. Stir in the coconut milk and bubble gently, scraping up any chicken bits that have stuck. You can add a splash of water if the sauce is too thick. Stir in the coriander and serve with the chicken.

ROASTING TIN CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA

Steps:

• Season the chicken legs with a little salt. Heat the rapeseed oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a high heat and add the chicken legs to the pan, skin-side down. Fry for 5-7 mins, turning occasionally until deep golden brown and crisp on all sides. Remove to a plate and set aside.
• Peel the garlic cloves and blitz to a purée in a food processor with the onion, ginger and chilli. Heat the ghee or butter in the pan over a medium heat and cook the oniony purée for 15 mins, stirring often. Stir in the spices, tomato purée and cardamom, then cook for 2 mins more. Tip in the canned tomatoes, stock and sugar, bring to a simmer, cover and cook for a further 15 mins. Season to taste.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Stir the double cream through the sauce, then tip it into a baking dish large enough to fit all the chicken legs in a single layer. Nestle the chicken legs in the sauce and bake in the oven for 25-30 mins until cooked through - the juices should run clear when pierced with the tip of a knife in the thickest part of the legs. Scatter with the coriander leaves and red onion, then serve with pilau rice and naans for mopping up the sauce.
