Ingredients


4 chicken thighs with skin, pierced


2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed


2 tsp peeled and grated root ginger


1/4 tsp salt


Juice of 1/2 a lemon


1/4 tsp ground cumin


Pinch of chilli powder or 1 green chilli (seeded and chopped)


1 Tbsp tomato puree


Method


Preheat the oven to 200C / 400F / Gas Mark 6.


Place the chicken thighs in a bowl. Stir together the rest of the ingredients, then rub the mixture over the thighs thoroughly.


Lay them on a baking tray and roast for 30 minutes.


Take them out of the oven and serve with mashed potato or hot pitta breads.


You can use the same ingredients to baste a whole chicken for a Sunday roast, but if you do, cook the potatoes and other vegetables plainly - the meat has all the flavour you need.
