This Indian Pancakes leans on ginger and green chilli to do the heavy lifting. We smoke the Chicken Thigh for real depth, then bring it together in one pan.

How to cook it

Prep everything first: chop the aromatics, measure the ginger and green chilli elements, and pat the chicken thigh dry so it colours well.

Warm the olive oil in a large pan over a medium heat and soften the onion and garlic until sweet and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Turn up the heat and add the chicken thigh. Cook low with a little smoke until burnished and infused, resting before slicing.

Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and the rest of the ginger and green chilli flavours, letting them cook out for a minute until fragrant.

Add the green beans along with a splash of stock or water, then cover and cook gently until everything is tender and the sauce clings.

Tested in the Stewart & Musell kitchen. Timings assume a standard home oven and hob.
