• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. In a baking dish, combine chicken drumsticks, Mumbai spice blend, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes. • Remove from oven, then add apricot sauce. Toss to combine and spoon over any juices. • Bake until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, 15-20 minutes. TIP: The spice blend will char slightly, this adds flavour to the dish! TIP: Chicken is cooked through when it's no longer pink inside.
• Meanwhile, chop cauliflower (including stalk!) into small florets. • Place cauliflower on a lined oven tray. Drizzle generously with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.
• Meanwhile, thinly slice celery. • In a large bowl, combine celery, shredded cabbage mix and a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste.
• Divide apricot-glazed Indian chicken drumsticks, roasted cauliflower and celery slaw between plates. • Spoon over any remaining sauce from baking dish. Serve with mayonnaise. Enjoy!
