SPICY! The Bengal curry paste is hot, use less if you are sensitive to heat. Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Finely chop the garlic. Finely grate the ginger. Add the chicken drumsticks to a lined baking dish. Add the Bengal curry paste, Greek-style yoghurt, Mumbai spice blend, ginger, brown sugar, 1/2 the garlic, and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss to coat, then arrange in a single layer. Bake the chicken for 20 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven, then turn the chicken and spoon over any juices in the baking dish. Bake the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, a further 20-25 minutes.

While the chicken is baking, heat a medium saucepan over a medium heat with the butter and a dash of olive oil. Cook the remaining garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Add the basmati rice, water and a pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water has absorbed, 10 minutes. When the rice is done, add the baby spinach leaves to the saucepan, stir to combine and cover to keep warm. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

While the rice is cooking, trim the baby broccoli and cut in half lengthways. When the chicken has 10 minutes cook time remaining, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook the baby broccoli with a dash of water until tender, 4-5 minutes.

Divide the spinach-garlic rice between plates. Top with the Bengali baked chicken drumsticks. Spoon over the remaining sauce from the baking dish. Serve with the baby broccoli and dollop over the mango chutney.
