BUTTER ‘EM UP
Preheat the oven to 200°C. In a small bowl, combine the Butter Chicken Curry Paste with 15ml of oil and some seasoning. Pat the chicken dry with some paper towel. Place on a roasting tray and coat in the curry paste. Roast in the hot oven for 35-40 minutes until cooked through and becoming crispy, shifting halfway.
FLUFFY BASMATI
Rinse the rice and place in a pot. Submerge it in 200ml of salted water. Bring to the boil with the lid on. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes until most of the water has been absorbed. Then, keeping the lid on, remove from the heat and allow it to steam for a further 10 minutes.
SAMBAL & RAITA
Place the quartered baby tomatoes and half of the thinly sliced red onion in a bowl with the Pickling Liquid. Season to taste, toss to combine, and set aside to pickle. Place the diced Cucumber and coconut yoghurt in a bowl and stir in three-quarters of the chopped coriander. Season to taste and set aside.
SAUTÉD VEG
When the rice is cooked, place a pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, sauté the remaining red onion for 3-4 minutes until soft. Add in the rice and rinsed baby spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach has wilted, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat.
ALMOST THERE
When the Chicken is cooked, remove from the oven and allow to rest for 3-5 minutes before serving. Add some pickling liquid from the sambal (to taste) to the coconut yoghurt raita.
DISH UP & DIG IN
Plate some fluffy rice and spinach next to the butter Chicken leg quarter. Top with some fresh sambal (use or lose the pickling liquid as you wish!) and serve with the coconut yoghurt raita on the side. Delish, Chef!
