Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel) and pop onto a large baking tray.
Sprinkle over the Sri Lankan style curry powder (add less if you'd prefer things milder). 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 middle shelf until golden, 30-40 mins. Turn halfway through.
Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.
Once the oil is hot, lay the chicken into the pan and cook until browned, 5 mins each side.
Once browned, pop the chicken onto a medium baking tray and roast on the top shelf of your oven until cooked through, 15-20 mins. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
When cooked, remove from your oven, cover with foil and allow to rest for a couple of mins.
Meanwhile, pop the (now empty) frying pan on medium heat (no need to clean). Add a drizzle of oil if needed.
Add the curry powder and half the garlic to the pan. Stir-fry for 1 min.
Stir in the mango chutney, creme fraiche and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount). Warm through until everything's piping hot, 2-3 mins.
Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper if needed. Cover with a lid or foil to keep warm.
When the potatoes have 5 mins left, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium saucepan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the peas and stir-fry for 2-3 mins.
Add the remaining garlic and fry until fragrant, 1 min, then remove from the heat.
Reheat the creamy coronation sauce if needed, adding a splash of water if it's a little too thick.
When the chicken is ready, cut into 2cm thick slices and share between your plates. Spoon over the creamy coronation sauce.
Serve with the bombay style potatoes and peas on the side.
Enjoy!
