Method
- To make the marinade, peel and roughly slice the ginger, peel the garlic cloves, then place in a dry frying pan on a medium heat with the fennel seeds and cardamom pods. Leave for 1 minute to wake up all those lovely flavours, then tip into a pestle and mortar.
- Pound to a rough paste with the chilli powder and a pinch of sea salt. Transfer to a large sealable bag, finely grate in the lemon zest, squeeze in the juice and add the yoghurt.
- Remove the chicken skin, then place in the bag, seal and massage to coat. Marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 190ºC/375ºF/gas 5.
- Peel and finely chop the onion. Peel the potatoes, then chop into rough chunks with the tomatoes. Finely chop the coriander stalks (reserving the leaves).
- Place a large, wide ovenproof pan on a medium heat with 4 tablespoons of oil, the cinnamon, cloves, cumin seeds and bay. Add the chicken in a single layer with its marinade and cook for 5 minutes on one side, or until a lovely golden crust develops.
- Stir in the ground spices, then add the onion, potatoes, tomatoes and coriander stalks. Turn the chicken and cook for a further 5 to 10 minutes, or until browned all over.
- Pour over 350ml of cold water, then bring to the boil. Transfer to the oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the chicken is tender, stirring occasionally.
- Pick out and discard the cinnamon and any visible cardamom pods, then finely slice and sprinkle over the chilli (if using). Tear over the coriander leaves and serve. Great with a dollop of yoghurt, coconut rice, naan breads and a fresh green salad.
