1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Mix the coriander stems with the cumin, lime zest, juice and oil. Make 3 slashes in each chicken quarter, then sprinkle over the turmeric and half the lime mixture. Season well, then leave to marinate for 10 mins or up to 24 hrs. Roast on a baking tray for 50 mins until golden and cooked through.
2. Tip the cabbage and carrots into a bowl, then pour over the remaining dressing. Add the coriander leaves and toss together. Serve alongside the chicken with some naan bread or rice, if you like.

Make it veggie - Spiced halloumi with coleslaw

Cut a 250g block halloumi cheese into thick slices and leave in the marinade for 30 mins. Shake off excess marinade. Heat a griddle pan until smoking, then cook the halloumi for a couple of mins on each side. Serve with the coleslaw, with the marinade drizzled over the top.

  We had this for supper yesterday and it was decreed delicious by all the family, including son of 10 years. In fact, hubby went so far as to say it was the nicest chicken dish he'd ever had! Mind you, he would have preferred it to have been served in a huge baguette, instead of on a plate with rice salad! LOL I should say that, because neither hubby nor son will eat leg of chicken - and its virtually impossible to get chicken portions that involve breast of chicken these days - I used skinless chicken breasts but sliced them into goujons. It was still yummy!

  Very easy to make. The family enjoyed it too. Left out the coleslaw and served with mashed potatoes and carrots with peas & sweetcorn.

  Thought this was great, tasted really special. I added a couple of cloves of crushed garlic to the chicken whilst it was marinating which worked well. Once I had tipped half the lime and coriander mix over the chicken I then added a tsp of sugar before I added it to the coleslaw mix. I also think the coleslaw tastes good if you let it sit in the dressing for a while before serving. I served this with plain rice and the leftovers were good the next day too. Just watch out for the turmeric, it really stains, your fingers, tea-towels etc!

  Thought this was quite boring - the garlic tip above might have added some interest. On the plus side it is a good introduction to Indian spices for children, and feels very virtuously healthy. Served with garlic and coriander naan bread.
