Steps:
- Place a small, heavy skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes. Add coriander, fenugreek, and peppercorns. Cook, swirling pan, until fragrant and lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl; let cool completely. Grind in a spice grinder.
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add mustard seeds and cinnamon. As soon as mustard seeds pop, add chicken in a single layer (work in batches, if necessary). Cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes per side. Set pieces aside on a plate as they are done.
- Add onions and garlic to pot and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add ginger and tomato. Cook until tomato is soft, about 3 minutes. Add ground toasted spices, turmeric, cayenne, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and lemon juice. Return chicken to pot, along with any accumulated juices.
- Remove thick coconut cream from top of coconut milk; set aside. Stir remaining contents of can into pot. Add enough water to fill can again (1 1/2 cups) and add to pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, and stirring occasionally, until chicken is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Stir reserved coconut cream; add to pot along with chiles. Stir once or twice to warm through; remove from heat. Remove chiles and cinnamon stick, if desired. Serve, with rice, yogurt, and chutney.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
- Put the onions in a bowl with the vinegar and soak 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the chicken with 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Place skin-side up in a large ovensafe skillet and roast until the skin is golden brown and crispy and the chicken is cooked through, about 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, toss the beans, mango and cilantro with the soaked onions and vinegar, 1 tablespoon of the coconut milk and salt and pepper to taste in a medium bowl.
- Transfer the chicken to 4 dinner plates. Carefully pour out the excess fat from the skillet and place on the stovetop over medium-high heat (use caution; the handle will be extremely hot). Add the chipotle chiles, remaining 1/2 cup coconut milk and 1/2 cup water; bring to a boil, scraping the browned bits from the pan. Reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Add a splash of vinegar and season with salt.
