Mumbai Spice Blend

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Pat whole chicken dry with a paper towel. • Place chicken on a lined oven tray, breast-side up. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with half the Mumbai spice blend and a generous pinch of salt, rubbing the seasoning into the skin. • Roast until browned and cooked through, 1 hour. • Remove tray from oven. Cover with foil and set aside to rest for 15 minutes.
TIP: To check if the chicken is cooked through, poke a skewer or small knife between the leg and the body. The juices that come out should be clear, without any traces of pink. TIP: The chicken needs resting time for the meat to get nice and juicy!

• When the chicken has 30 minutes remaining, cut zucchini into rounds. • Slice brown onion into wedges. Place zucchini, onion and snacking tomatoes on a second lined oven tray. • Sprinkle with remaining Mumbai spice blend, drizzle with olive oil (1/4 cup for 2 people / 1/2 cup for 4 people) and season with a generous pinch of salt. • Roast until tender, 15-18 minutes.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber into half-moons. • Pick curry leaves. • Roughly chop mint. Finely chop garlic. • In a medium bowl, combine the white wine vinegar and a good pinch of salt and sugar. Add cucumber and enough water to just cover the cucumber, then set aside. • In a small bowl, combine mint, Greek-style yoghurt and a pinch of salt.
TIP: Slicing the cucumber very thinly helps it pickle faster!

• In a second small heatproof bowl, melt the butter and half the garlic in the microwave, in 10 second bursts, until fragrant. Season with salt. • Spread mini flour tortillas out evenly on a third lined oven tray (don’t worry if they overlap) and brush or spread with some garlic oil. • Bake until golden, 5-8 minutes.
TIP: If your tray is crowded, divide tortillas between two lined oven trays.
• Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Add curry leaves, mild curry paste, tomato paste and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add coconut milk, the brown sugar, any chicken resting juices and a splash of water and cook, stirring, until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Transfer roasted veggies to the pan, stirring to combine. Season to taste.
• Drain pickled cucumber. • Carve Mumbai chicken in half. • Bring chicken, zucchini curry, garlic tortillas and pickled cucumber to the table. • Sprinkle flaked almonds over the curry. • Serve with mint yoghurt. Enjoy!
