Roasted Chicken Masala

Preheat oven to 250 C In a bowl, mix the chicken with the all of the ingredients listed under “marination”.

Place marinaded chicken in an oven proof dish dish and place in oven. Cook for 5-6 minutes.

Whilst the chicken is cooking, in a food processor, add the onions, garlic, ginger, green chilli, salt, garam masala, turmeric powder, coriander powder and chilli powder.

At this point, turn the chicken over and cook for a further 5-6 minutes. Remove from the oven.

Heat the olive oil in a pan. Add the cloves, cumin seeds, bay leaves, cinnamon stick and the cardamom pods to the oil. Once they begin to sizzle, add the processed masala paste.

Mix and cook until golden brown, constantly stirring every few minutes Once golden, add the plum tomatoes and mix well. Continue to stir and cook until the oil separates from the masala.

Now add the chicken. Add the greek yoghurt and sprinkle on the fresh coriander and cook for 5-7 minutes.

Serve hot with rice or chapatis. Enjoy :)
