Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel).
Halve, peel and thinly slice the shallot. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Trim the green beans, then cut into thirds.
Pop the potato chunks onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.
When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, lay the chicken onto another baking tray, drizzle with oil and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the curry powder and use your hands to coat.
Drizzle the honey (see pantry for amount) over the chicken, then roast on the middle shelf of your oven until cooked through, 25-30 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. It's cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
Heat a large frying pan on medium-high heat (no oil). Once hot, add the desiccated coconut and cook, stirring regularly, until lightly toasted, 2-3 mins. TIP: Watch it like a hawk as it can burn easily.
Set the toasted coconut aside in a small bowl, wipe out your pan, then pop back on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.
Once hot, add the green beans and shallot. Stir-fry until the beans are starting to char and the shallot is soft and golden, 3-4 mins.
Stir the spring greens, garlic, chilli flakes (add less if you'd prefer things milder) and mustard seeds into the shallot pan and cook for 1 min.
Add a splash of water and cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until wilted, 5-6 mins.
Remove from the heat and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the toasted coconut (you can reheat later if your potatoes and chicken aren't finished cooking yet).
Once the chicken has finished cooking, remove from the oven and drizzle over the mango chutney. Leave the rest for a couple of mins.
If needed, warm through your spring green cheera style thoran.
Serve the chicken with the cheera thoran and potatoes alongside.
Add a dollop of mayo (see pantry for amount) to your plates. Drizzle over any chicken resting juices to finish.
Enjoy!
