Cooking Steps
Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Chop 1/2 the carrot into small chunks. Place carrot and pumpkin on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 15-20 minutes.
TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide the veggies between two trays.
Meanwhile, finely chop garlic. Grate remaining carrot. Roughly chop mixed leaves. Pick and thinly slice herb leaves.
In a medium bowl, combine mild North Indian spice blend, a generous pinch of salt and a drizzle of olive oil. Add chicken thigh, turning to coat.
In a medium saucepan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Cook chicken, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 10-14 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
TIP: The spice blend will char slightly in the pan, this adds to the flavour!
TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
Return saucepan to medium-high heat. Melt the butter, then add grated carrot and cook until softened, 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the water and chicken-style stock powder. Bring to the boil, then add wholemeal couscous and a drizzle of olive oil. Stir to combine, cover with a lid and remove from heat. Set aside until all water is absorbed, 5 minutes. Fluff up with a fork, then stir through mixed leaves, roasted veggies and herbs.
Slice the chicken. Divide wholemeal carrot couscous between bowls. Top with North Indian-spiced chicken and a dollop of Greek-style yoghurt. Sprinkle with slivered almonds to serve.
