Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C.

  • Mix the ground spices with yoghurt, ginger, chilli, salt, mace, white pepper, and coriander.
  • Sear the guinea fowl in an ovenproof pan with olive oil for one minute per side.
  • Spread the yoghurt spice paste onto the slashed areas of the breasts.
  • Roast in the oven for 10-12 minutes until cooked through.
  • Combine the cucumber, tomatoes, carrots, chilli, and coconut in a bowl.
  • Whisk palm sugar, lemon juice, and olive oil, then drizzle over the salad.
  • Serve the roasted guinea fowl on top of the salad.
