Bacofoil® has teamed up with TV chef Dean Edwards to create this classic Indian-inspired dish that’s easy enough for even the most hardened takeaway-er to try for themselves at home.

Cook Time

50 - 60 mins

Serves

4

Ingredients

8 chicken thighs & drumsticks

1 tbs garam masala

1 tsp ground coriander

1 tsp chilli powder

1 tsp paprika

½ tsp turmeric

½ tsp ground cinnamon

5 cloves of garlic, crushed

Small piece of fresh ginger, grated

300lml natural yoghurt

Juice and zest ½ lemon

800g new potatoes

1tbs olive oil

1 tsp ground cumin

½ cucumber, peeled and deseeded

3tbs chopped fresh mint

½ tsp sugar

Method

Mix the spices in a large bowl along then combine with the natural yoghurt, ginger, lemon juice, zest and garlic.

Place the chicken portions, which have been slashed a few times to allow the marinade to penetrate, Massage well then cover with Bacofoil® clingfilm and refrigerate for at least two hours but overnight if you can for best results.

Slice the new potatoes at ½ centimeter intervals cutting 2/3 of the way down, mix the oil, garlic and cumin in a bowl along with a pinch of salt and pepper then rub this oil into the potatoes making sure you get a good coating.

Place the chicken portions and potatoes onto a Bacofoil® Non-Stick foil lined baking tray then cook in a pre heated oven set at 190c / gas mark 5 for 50-60 minutes or until cooked through. Half way through the cooking time run a fork along the top of the potatoes to fan them out a little.

Mix the cucumber, mint, yoghurt and sugar in a bowl, cover with a sheet of Bacofoil® clingfilm then leave to stand for 10 minutes to allow the flavours to develop. Serve the chicken and potatoes along with the raita and a garnish of fresh coriander.
