  1. TIKKA ROAST

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a small bowl, combine the tikka curry paste with 1 tbsp of oil and some seasoning. Pat the chicken dry with some paper towel. Place on a roasting tray, coat in the tikka paste, and roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes. At the halfway mark, coat the drained chickpeas in oil and some seasoning. Scatter on the tray around the chicken and return to the oven for the remaining roasting time. On completion, the chickpeas should be crispy and the chicken should be cooked through and crispy-skinned.

  2. SAMBAL & CUCUMBER RAITA

    Place the quartered baby tomatoes, the Pickling Liquid, and a third of the sliced red onion in a bowl. Toss to combine, season to taste, and set aside for serving. Place the yoghurt and diced cucumber in a second bowl. Stir in three-quarters of the chopped coriander, season to taste, and set aside for serving.

  3. SAUTÉ THE VEG

    When the chicken and chickpeas are almost ready, place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the remaining sliced red onion for 2-3 minutes until soft. Add the rinsed baby spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted, shifting occasionally. Remove the pan from the heat on completion.

  4. ALMOST THERE...

    When the chicken is cooked, remove from the oven and allow to rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. Drain the Pickling Liquid from the sambal and stir some of it into the cucumber raita to taste. Reserve the remainder in the fridge for use in another meal, or discard.

  5. TIKKA TIME

    Dish up some sautéed spinach next to the fragrant roast tikka chicken and the crispy chickpeas. Top with some fresh sambal, garnish with the remaining coriander, and serve with the cucumber raita on the side. Delish, Chef!
