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.

Indian Spiced Chicken with Roasted Carrot Quinoa & Coriander Yogurt Sauce

We have a great recipe from Shanice who runs Gluten Freedom club. Shanice has had top class culinary training in London and has worked amongst the top chefs in the industry, including joining the team at 3 Michelin star restaurant, Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester.

Ingredients

Chicken
1 whole chicken
50 g butter, softened
2 tsp Shemin’s Indian curry paste

Quinoa
1 cup quinoa
2 cups water
4 portions of baby carrots Serves 4
1 large red onion, cut into chunky wedges
2 tbsp olive oil

Sauce
1 cup natural yogurt
1 large handful of fresh coriander
1/2 fresh lemon, juice only

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 190°c / gas mark 5.
2. Leave the butter out of the fridge for a while to soften. In a bowl, mix together the butter with the spice paste until well combined.
3. Rub the flavoured butter all over the surface of the chicken to completely coat it. Place in the pre-heated oven for around 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until when a skewer is inserted into the thickest part of the meat, the juices run clear. Exact cooking times will depend on the size of the chicken. Baste the chicken with the juices part way through cooking to keep it moist. If the surface of the chicken is getting to dark, you can cover it with tin foil and return to the oven to finish cooking through. Leave to rest for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile place the baby carrots and chopped red onion onto an oven proof tray and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast in the oven until golden and tender.
5. Take a saucepan and add in the quinoa and the water. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook out until the water has been absorbed and the quinoa is tender and fluffy. Season with salt and pepper.
6. For the sauce, simply mix together the yogurt, coriander and lemon juice with a hand blender until smooth and well combined. Keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
7. Mix together the roasted carrots and red onion with the quinoa. Serve this alongside the spicy roast chicken and the cooling yogurt sauce.
