Directions: Preparation: Combine the garlic, ginger, turmeric, cumin, cardamom, coriander, pepper and lemon zest in a small bowl. Set aside. Trim the excess fat of chicken if any. Place the chicken in a ovenproof casserole dish. Add the seasoning mixture to the chicken and make sure each drumstick is completely coated. Cover and marinade for 3 hours or overnight. Preheat the oven to 180. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Cook the chicken quickly over medium high heat until well browned on the outside. Place the chicken back in the casserole dish. Add 1 tsp of oil and stir fry the onion, and stirring until tender. Add the cooked onion, dates, shredded coconut to the casserole dish. Pour the chicken stock evenly over the dish (if you do this over only two containers, you will need much less stock). Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the chicken is tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from the oven, uncover and serve with white rice on the side. Note: Dried prunes, figs, or apricots are great alternatives to dates.
