About the recipe

Here you’ll find the marriage of two of the greatest loves in my life – a roast dinner and a chicken curry! Using an air fryer makes this an efficient recipe for cooking a whole chicken in a small space and, rubbed with fragrant spices then served up with gnarly veg, fluffy rice and crispy poppadoms, this is a low-maintenance way to cook-up a fantastic meal for the whole family.

Ingredients

1 x 1.5kg whole free-range chicken

1 small cauliflower (600g)

4 tbsp Kerala-style curry paste

olive oil

red wine vinegar

1 x 700g jar of chickpeas

1 onion

2 cloves of garlic

5cm piece of ginger

1 fresh red chilli

1 bunch of coriander (30g)

1 heaped tsp mustard seeds

1 tsp ground turmeric

1 small handful of curry leaves

300g ripe cherry tomatoes

1 x 400g tin of light coconut milk

1 lemon

Method

  1. Press down firmly on the chicken breasts to break the backbone, squashing the bird slightly, then slash each thigh a few times with a sharp knife. Cut the cauli into 6 wedges, discarding any tatty outer leaves. Rub the chicken and cauli all over with 2 tablespoons each of curry paste and olive oil, a little red wine vinegar and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
  2. Place the chicken, breast side down, in the large air-fryer drawer and press down. Cook for 50 minutes at 200°C, or until cooked through, turning halfway.
  3. Place the cauliflower in the small drawer and cook for 50 minutes at 200°C, draining and adding the chickpeas halfway.
  4. Meanwhile, for the sauce, peel the onion, garlic and ginger, deseed the chilli, then finely slice it all. Finely chop the coriander stalks, reserving the leaves.
  5. Put a large non-stick pan on a medium heat on the hob with 1 tablespoon of oil, the spices and the curry leaves. Fry for 2 minutes, then add the onion, garlic, ginger, chilli, a pinch of black pepper, the coriander stalks and the tomatoes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of curry paste and cook for 15 minutes, or until softened, stirring occasionally.
  6. Stir in the coconut milk, then simmer on a medium-low heat until reduced to a saucy consistency. Season to perfection with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
  7. Transfer the cooked chicken to a platter with the cauli and chickpeas, pour over the curry sauce, and finish with the coriander leaves. Great with fluffy lemon rice, pomegranate-spiked mango chutney, raita and poppadoms.

This recipe is for a 2-drawer air fryer.


All recipes from Easy Air Fryer were tested at least twice in a Tefal single (4.2 litres) or dual (8.3 litres) air fryer, as well as in a range of air fryers by my team of office testers at home. All air fryers are different, so results may vary – please follow the recipe instructions for guidance, and use your instincts to adjust times accordingly if your machine runs a little hotter or colder than average.
