Instructions

Start the Prep
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. Trim the courgette and slice into 1cm thick rounds. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Drain and rinse the lentils in a sieve.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. When hot, add the courgette and cook until charred, 3-4 mins each side.

Once cooked, season with salt and pepper, then remove from the heat. Transfer the charred courgettes to a plate and set aside. Give the frying pan a quick wipe clean.

Spice the Chicken
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in the (now empty) frying pan on medium-high heat.

Season the chicken with black pepper, then sprinkle with the ground cumin to evenly coat. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

Fry and Bake
3

Once the oil is hot, lay the chicken into the pan and cook until browned, 5 mins each side.

Once browned, transfer the chicken to a baking tray and roast on the top shelf of your oven until cooked through, 10-12 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.

Simmer your Dal
4

Heat the (now empty) frying pan used for the chicken on medium heat with a drizzle more oil if needed.

Once hot, add the onion, season with salt and pepper and fry, stirring occasionally, until golden, 8-10 mins.  

Stir in the garlic and tandoori masala mix. Fry for 1 min more. 

Stir through the passata, lentils, chicken stock paste, water for the dal and half the honey (see pantry for both amounts). Bring to the boil, then simmer until the sauce has thickened slightly, 3-4 mins. 

Finishing Touches
5

When the dal is ready, stir in the charred courgette and then the spinach a handful at a time until wilted and piping hot, 1-2 mins. 

Add half the yoghurt and stir well to combine. Remove from the heat. 

Once the chicken is cooked, drizzle over the remaining honey. Thinly slice the chicken.

Serve Up
6

Share the lentil dal between your bowls. 

Top with the sliced chicken. Drizzle over the remaining yoghurt to finish.
