Lucy Boyd's really rather nice lemony chicken with coriander and basmati rice

Tonight I cooked another recipe from Lucy Boyd's very nice book  ... her pic above not mine btw It's one of those recipes that I have looked at a few times but always ended up not doing thinking that it didn't look quite interesting enough. Well I was wrong and I'm glad that I decided to do it ... its curry-ish without being a full on curry. It's got some good spice going on but it's also light and lemony. The rice makes a really great accompaniment .. its a very simple spin on a well known dish but its really very nice.  The overall verdict was that this recipe is a keeper. nb I used ready made garam masala. Serve s 4 Ingredients 1 medium-size chicken, jointed into its various parts (the butcher will do this for you) w e actually used ready cut pieces. 20g fresh root ginger, peeled and chopped into small chunks 3 cloves of garlic, peeled ¼ tsp ground turmeric 2 tsp coriander seeds 2 tsp cumin seeds ¼ tsp cayenne pepper
