Saffron has an incredibly vibrant colour. Make sure to stir the saffron yoghurt again just before serving as it will continue to release colour while it stands.

Steps

Preheat oven to 230ºC. Line an oven tray with baking paper.
Prep & cook pumpkin sabzi. Toss pumpkin, carrot, cauliflower, onion and sabzi spice with oil on prepared tray. Season and bake for 18-20 minutes, until tender and lightly golden.
Marinate chicken. Add chicken, tandoori spice, first measure of yoghurt and garlic and ginger paste to a medium bowl. Toss well to coat and leave to marinate for 5 minutes.
Make yoghurt. In a small bowl, mix together yoghurt and saffron and season. Set aside.
Cook chicken. Heat oil in a large fry-pan on medium-high heat. Season chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes each side (depending on thickness), or until cooked through. Set aside, covered, to rest. Slice thickly.
