  8. Add smashed lemongrass, garlic, torn kaffir lime leaves, cut red chilli and chilli padis, coriander roots, sweet potatoes and tomatoes around the chicken.

  10. Pour the curry and coconut over everything, including the chicken, and sprinkle lemon zest all over the dish.
  11. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes with the breast at the bottom.
  12. Baste the chicken occasionally.
  13. Uncover the aluminum foil and bake further for 10 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through.
  14. Serve with added baby spinach and chopped coriander.
