Spicy Roast Chicken Recipe
This meal is cooked on the oven wich is very rare in Indian cooking. The chicken can be boned, if desired.

INGREDIENTS

- 1/4 cup ground almonds
- 1/3 cup shredded coconut
- 2/3 cup oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp. chopped fresh ginger root
- tsp crushed garlic
- 1 tsp. chili powder
- 1 1/2 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup yogurt
- 4 skinless chicken quarters
- salad greens to serve

To garnish:
- Cilantro leaves
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges


1. In a heavy- based saucepan, dry-fry the ground almonds and coconut and set aside.

2. Heat the oil in skillet and fry the onion, stirring until, until golden brown.

3. Place the ginger, garlic, chili powder, garam masala and salt in a bowl and mix with the yogurt. Add the almonds and coconut and mix well.

4. Add the onions to the spice mixture, blend, and set aside.

5. Arrange the chicken quarters in the bottom of an ovenproof dish. Spoon the onion and spice mixture over the chicken sparingly.

6. Cook in a preheated oven at 425 gardes F. for 35 - 45 minutes.
Check that the chicken is cooked thoroughly by piercing the thickest part of the meat with a sharp knife... the juices will run clear when the chicken is cooked through. Garnish with the cilantro and lemon wedges and serve with salad greens.

* If you want a spicer dish, add more chili powder and garam masala.
