Method

  1. In a large bowl, mix 150g yogurt with the coconut milk, curry paste and 4 tbsp chutney. Make a couple of cuts across the thickest part of each drumstick. Add to the marinade and turn to coat. Cover and chill for 1 hr, or up to 2 days.
  2. Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Put the chicken on a baking tray lined with nonstick baking paper. Season well. Bake for 40 mins, or until cooked through with no pink meat showing. Scatter with the almonds and bake for 5-10 mins, until the nuts are golden. Cool.
  3. Marble the remaining chutney through the remaining yogurt in a bowl, to make a dipping sauce.
  4. Serve the drumsticks with the lettuce and the mango dip (or chill for up to 24 hrs before taking on your picnic).
