TANDOORI MARINADE
Place the yoghurt in a bowl and combine with the tandoori spice mix. Pat the Chicken pieces dry with some paper towel, place in the bowl of marinade, and toss to coat. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes or as long as you have time for – even overnight! Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the marinated chicken on a roasting tray and lightly season, reserving the remaining marinade in the bowl. Roast in the hot oven for 30-35 minutes until cooked through.
WHILE THE Chicken MARINATES…
Make the sambal! Place the cumin seeds in a pan over a medium heat. Toast for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting occasionally. Remove from the pan on completion and set aside to cool. Place the diced baby tomatoes in a bowl with the diced Onion (to taste) and the juice of 2 lime wedges. Toss together and stir through some lime zest to taste. Once the cumin seeds are cool, add half of them to the sambal along with a drizzle of oil. Toss, season to taste, and set aside for serving.
CRISP THE Kale
Place the shredded Kale in a bowl with a drizzle of oil and some seasoning. Using your hands, gently massage the kale until softened and coated in oil. When the Chicken has 10 minutes remaining, baste it with the reserved yoghurt marinade and scatter the soft kale on the tray around it. Return the tray to the oven and cook for the remaining time until the kale and chicken skin are crispy.
GOLDEN TURMERIC COUSCOUS
Boil the kettle. Place the couscous, turmeric, and stock in a shallow bowl and submerge in 125ml of boiling water. Add a drizzle of oil and gently stir through with a fork. Cover with a plate and set aside to steam for 5-8 minutes until tender. Once cooked, fluff up with the fork. When the Kale has crisped, toss it through the couscous.
