Provided by Esther Clark

Categories     Dinner, Main course

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 small whole chicken
5 tbsp tikka masala paste
1 tbsp sunflower oil
1 large red onion, halved and sliced
2 large tomatoes, halved and chopped
1 tbsp fenugreek seeds
1 thumb-sized piece ginger, grated
2 x 400g cans full-fat coconut milk
500g new potatoes, halved
100g baby spinach
25g pack coriander, torn, to serve
poppadums and chutney, to serve (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 6. Put the chicken on a chopping board and, using your hands, rub the skin generously with half the spice paste. Season well, tie the legs together and set aside.
  • Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish over a medium heat. Add the onion and a good pinch of salt and cook for 5 mins or until beginning to soften. Add the tomatoes, fenugreek seeds, ginger and remaining spice paste, and cook for 3 mins more. Stir through the coconut milk and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken and the potatoes to the dish, and cook in the oven for 20 mins, uncovered.
  • Lower the heat to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and cook for 55 mins more. Check that the meat is cooked by cutting through one of its legs - the flesh shouldn't be pink.
