    Indian grilled chicken

    This was totally improvised.

    – Take the skin off some chicken legs and thighs.
    – Toss the chicken pieces in a mixture of curry powder and flour.
    – Brush with an egg.
    – Toss in a mixture of breadcrumbs and polenta.
    – Cook in the oven until golden brown.
    Meanwhile, make a spinach curry:
    – Fry some chopped onions in ghee.
    – Make a paste with freshly ground spices added to fresh ginger, garlic and chili.
    – Add to the onions, stir well and add a large bunch of fresh spinach leaves, stir over a low heat until the leaves begin to wilt.
    – Stir in a little fresh cream or yoghurt and cover to cook through.
    I served the chicken on a bed of spinach curry and topped with some yoghurt mixed with a little curry paste. A sprinkling of chopped nuts to garnish.
