Ingredients

For the coriander-marinated spatchcock chicken

2 tbsp coriander seeds
2 tbsp fenugreek seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
½ tsp fennel seeds
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 cinnamon stick
5 cloves
3 cardamom pods, seeds removed
1 tbsp ground turmeric
2 bay leaves, crushed
2 tbsp fresh coriander
400g/14oz natural yoghurt
2 tbsp vegetable oil
1 chicken, spatchcocked

For the coconut and coriander salad

50g/1¾oz mitzuna leaves
2 head Little Gem lettuce, leaves separated
½ fresh coconut, flesh only, cut into strips
4 tbsp palm sugar
4 garlic cloves
2 tbsp grated fresh root ginger
3 red chillies, finely chopped
1 bunch fresh coriander
3 limes, juice only
2 tbsp fish sauce

Preparation method

For the coriander-marinated spatchcock chicken, place all the spices in a dry frying pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the spices start to pop and realise their oils and aroma.
Place the spices in a spice grinder and grind to a powder.
Put the coriander, yoghurt, oil and powdered spices in a bowl and mix. Spread the marinade all over the chicken and leave to marinate for at least two hours.
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
Heat a large griddle pan and place the chicken breast-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes, or until bar marks appear. Turn over and cook for a further 4-5 minutes.
Cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken. The chicken is cooked when the juices run clear when the thickest part is pierced with a skewer. Once cooked, remove from the oven, cover and allow to rest in a warm place.
For the coconut and coriander salad, place the mitzuna and lettuce leaves in a bowl and add the strips of coconut.
Place the remaining salad ingredients into a pestle and mortar and pound to a paste. Add the paste to the bowl of leaves and toss to coat.
To serve, cut the chicken into portions and place on a serving plate alongside the coriander salad.
