Method

Put the chicken (skin on or removed, according to your preference) in a bowl and coat with the cumin seeds, 2 of the crushed garlic cloves and 2 tbsp oil. Cover and set aside to come to room temperature.
Meanwhile make the houmous. Put the chickpeas, tahini, most of the lemon juice, remaining garlic, curry powder, the remaining 2 tbsp olive oil and 3 tbsp of water into a food processor and blitz until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and a little more olive oil, water and lemon juice, if necessary.
Set a griddle pan over a medium heat. Season the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper. When the pan is hot, fry for 4-6 mins on each side, until cooked through. Remove from the pan, cover tightly with tin foil and leave to rest for 5 mins.
Meanwhile, put the spinach in a large dry pan and set over a high heat. Turn the spinach from time to time for 2-3 mins, until it has wilted completely. Season to taste.
To serve, divide the houmous between 4 plates, slice the chicken and put on top with the spinach. Scatter over the spring onions and dried chilli flakes, if using. Serve immediately.
