Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
First, make the flatbreads. Combine the flour, baking powder, yoghurt, ½ tsp salt and 3-4 tbsp water (if cooking for 4) in a large bowl. Bring the mixture together until you have a soft dough, then tip out onto a lightly oiled surface and knead briefly until soft and smooth. Wrap and set aside while you cook the curry.
Step 2
Slice the onion and cut the chicken thigh fillets into cubes. For the curry, heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat and cook the onion and chicken for 5 mins, turning the chicken until it has just browned on all sides. Add the chopped garlic, chopped tomatoes and the cumin seeds, and cook for 2 mins.
Step 3
Stir in the lentils, curry paste, stock cube and 300ml boiling water (if cooking for 4). Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook for 25 mins. Stir in the frozen spinach and continue to cook for a further 5-10 mins until the lentils are soft and the chicken is completely cooked through.
Step 4
Meanwhile, divide the flatbread dough into four equal pieces, then roll out on a lightly oiled surface into thin ovals, circles or teardrop shapes. Use a little oil on the rolling pin if the dough starts to stick.
Step 5
Working with one flatbread at a time, cook in a hot griddle or frying pan over a high heat for 2-3 mins on each side (depending on the thickness) until cooked through and browned. Wrap in a clean tea towel to keep warm as you cook the rest. Divide the curry between bowls and serve topped with a spoonful of yoghurt, with the warm flatbreads and mango chutney on the side.
