PREPARATION:
Turn the oven to fan 170C/conventional 190C/gas 5. Brush the chicken with 1 teaspoon of the oil, then sprinkle with the curry powder. Toss the onion in the remaining oil. Put the chicken and onions in one layer in a roasting tin. Bake for 25 minutes, until the meat is cooked and the onions are crisp, stirring the onions halfway through the cooking time.
Meanwhile, rinse the rice, then put in a pan with the cinnamon, turmeric, a little salt and 300ml water. Bring to the boil, stir once, then add the raisins. Cover, then gently cook for 10-12 minutes until the rice is tender, adding the peas halfway through the cooking time. Spoon the rice onto two plates, top with the chicken and scatter over the onions. In a bowl, stir the herbs into the yogurt and season. Serve the herby yogurt on the side.
