Method

Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C and toast the cumin seeds on a baking tray for 2-3 mins until fragrant. Set aside.
Toss the leek and lentils together and scatter over the base of a roasting tray.
In a bowl, mix the yogurt, curry powder, garlic & ginger paste and cumin seeds together until well combined. Toss through the chicken, cauliflower and broccoli. Arrange in a single layer over the leek and lentils and roast for 30 mins until lightly golden. Pour over the stock and roast for a further 8-10 mins until the chicken is cooked through.
Scatter over the coriander and pomegranate seeds; serve with lime wedges and roti, if you like.

Tip: To get ahead, cover and marinate the chicken, cauliflower and broccoli for up to 24 hours in the fridge.
