Ingredients
1 tbsp Greek-style yoghurt
Juice of 1/4 lemon
½ tbsp finely grated ginger
½ clove garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp sweet paprika
½ tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp mild curry powder
Pinch of salt
About 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 skinless chicken legs (thigh and drumstick)
Instructions
In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the yoghurt, lemon juice, ginger, garlic, paprika, cumin seeds, curry powder, salt and pepper.
Make a few cuts about ½cm deep here and there into the chicken flesh, then rub the spicy yoghurt mixture all over the chicken. Place chicken on a plate and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for 1-4 hours.
Preheat the oven to 250°C.
Place the chicken pieces on an oven rack, resting on an oven tray lined with foil. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven. After 15 minutes, turn the chicken over and cook for a further 15 minutes or until the chicken is ready.
Serve with steamed rice.
