Ingredients
- Boneless, skinless chicken thighs 500g
- Medium cauliflower 1 head
- For the marinade
- Greek-style yoghurt 150g
- Ginger-garlic paste 2 tbsp
- Ground turmeric 1 tsp
- Ground cumin 1 tsp
- Ground coriander 1.5 tsp
- Garam masala 1 tsp
- Chilli powder (or paprika) 0.5 tsp
- Salt 1 tsp
- Vegetable oil 2 tbsp
- To serve
- Fresh coriander, chopped small bunch
- Lemon wedges to serve
Method
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan/Gas Mark 6). Lightly grease a large baking tray.
- Wash the cauliflower, trim the leaves, and cut into bite-sized florets.
- Cut the chicken thighs into roughly 3-4cm pieces, if not already bite-sized.
- In a large bowl, combine the Greek-style yoghurt, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric, cumin, coriander, garam masala, chilli powder, salt, and 1 tbsp of the vegetable oil. Mix thoroughly to form a smooth marinade.
- Add the chicken pieces and cauliflower florets to the marinade. Toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Arrange the marinated chicken and cauliflower in a single layer on the prepared baking tray. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil.
- Roast for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender, and the cauliflower is golden brown and slightly charred at the edges. Turn the pieces halfway through cooking for even browning.
- Garnish generously with fresh chopped coriander and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
