Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste

Our multi-award winning paste will be your new secret when it comes to Indian cooking. 

Ingredients

  • 2 peppers, cut into wedges
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 700g chicken thigh fillets
  • 1 pot (100g) Shemin’s Tikka Paste
  • 150g natural yoghurt or 400g coconut milk (alternative option)
  • 100g broccoli
  • A handful of cherry tomatoes
  • 1 red chilli, sliced (optional)
  • 1–2 tbsp oil (olive or vegetable)
  • Pinch of salt (optional)
  • Knob of butter (to finish)

How to make Chicken Tikka Traybake

Prepare the tray

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the peppers, potatoes and cherry tomatoes into a large, shallow roasting tray.

Make the marinade

In a small bowl, mix the Shemin’s Tikka Paste with the yoghurt (or coconut milk if using). Pour half of the marinade over the vegetables, add the oil and a pinch of salt (if using), then toss to coat.

Step 3

Coat the chicken thighs in the remaining marinade. Do the same with the broccoli, then set the broccoli aside.

Step 4

Lay the marinated chicken on top of the vegetables, making sure everything is in a single layer. Roast for 30 minutes.

Step 5

Add the broccoli to the tray and return to the oven for a further 15 minutes. Check the chicken is cooked through — it should be piping hot with no pink in the centre.

Step 6

Remove the tray from the oven and add a knob of butter, allowing it to melt into the sauce for extra richness. Scatter over the sliced red chilli (if using) and serve straight from the tray.

Tips

  • Don’t overcrowd the tray – Make sure everything sits in a single layer so the vegetables roast rather than steam.
  • Chicken thighs work best – They stay juicy at high heat and take on the marinade beautifully.
  • More flavour? You can marinate the chicken up to 24 hours ahead for even deeper flavour.
  • Use what you’ve got – Courgettes, red onion, cauliflower or leftover roast potatoes all work well in this traybake.

Spicy Shepherds Pie

Seeing this at the dinner table would bring a smile to anyones face! An Indian twist on a British classic that our family love. Spiced minced lamb cooked in an Indian sauce served with fluffy cheesy mash. It’s a wonderful mix of traditional English food with a touch of spice.

Ingredients

For the topping

  • 1.2kg Maris Piper potatoes, peeled and boiled. Then mashed with knobs of butter and a little milk (could also use two 450g packs of ready made mash potato)
  • 1/2 tsp Shemin’s Garam Masala Spice Blend
  • grated cheddar cheese to cover

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 190°C.
  2. Fry the mince without oil in a non-stick frying pan or cast iron skillet, breaking it up as it browns. Transfer to a colander, set over a bowl to drain.
  3. Wipe the pan with kitchen paper and add 2 tbsp olive oil. Cook the onions over a low heat for 10 minutes or until softened.
  4. Add Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste with a splash of water and cook on a low heat for 4 minutes.
  5. Return the mince to the pan (discard the drained juices), add the peas, pour in the chopped tomatoes and stir in the fresh coriander. Simmer on a medium to low heat for about 20 minutes, lid off, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is thick and saucy. Season, then pour the mixture into a high sided baking dish or if using a cast iron skillet, then you can keep using that as it will be fine in the oven.
  6. Mix Shemin’s Garam Masala with your mashed potato and spoon over the top of the mince. Top with grated cheddar cheese.
  7. Cook in the oven for 30 minutes until the sauce is bubbling and the top goes brown and crispy.

Tips

  • For a vegetarian / vegan option, use a mince meat substitute like quorn and you can leave out the cheese or use vegan cheese.
