Make a quick, hearty weeknight supper with this all-in-one chicken curry bake. Serve with naans and finely chopped red onion

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Season the chicken legs with a little salt. Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a high heat and add the chicken legs to the pan, skin-side down. Fry for 5-7 mins, turning occasionally until deep golden brown and crisp on all sides. Remove to a plate and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the garlic cloves and blitz to a purée in a food processor with the onion, ginger and chilli. Heat the ghee or butter in the pan over a medium heat and cook the oniony purée for 15 mins, stirring often. Stir in the spices, tomato purée and cardamom, then cook for 2 mins more. Tip in the canned tomatoes, stock and sugar, bring to a simmer, cover and cook for a further 15 mins. Season to taste.

Step 3

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Stir the double cream through the sauce, then tip it into a baking dish large enough to fit all the chicken legs in a single layer. Nestle the chicken legs in the sauce and bake in the oven for 25-30 mins until cooked through – the juices should run clear when pierced with the tip of a knife in the thickest part of the legs. Scatter with the coriander leaves and red onion, then serve with pilau rice and naans for mopping up the sauce.
