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.

Caesar Chicken Meatball Salad / Baguette

Our Peri Peri Spice Blend adds the perfect touch of flavour to these juicy meatballs. You can serve this as a salad with the baguettes as croutons or make it into a meatball sandwich.

Ingredients

  • 500g chicken mince
  • 1 shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp Shemin’s Peri Peri Spice Blend (or to taste)
  • 1 fresh chilli, finely sliced (optional)
  • 2 tsp finely chopped or crushed garlic
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 baguette, thinly sliced
  • 1 packet little gem lettuce shredded
  • 150ml ready-made Caesar salad dressing
  • fresh herbs like cress, parsley, chives etc

Method

  1. Combine the mince with the shallots, Shemin’s Peri Peri Spice Blend, fresh chilli and garlic.
  2. Using a teaspoon scoop and roll into balls, there should be about eighteen.
  3. Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a frying pan and fry half the meatballs for 7-10 minutes, turning frequently until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Repeat with the rest of the meatballs and another tablespoon of the oil.
  5. As they cook, heat the grill and spread the baguette slices over a baking tray and lightly toast on both sides. Then tear the lettuce onto serving plates and top with the toasted baguette, drizzle with the remaining oil and grind over some black pepper.
  6. When the meatballs are ready, return the first batch to the pan to heat through, then them onto the salad and drizzle with the Caesar dressing. Scatter with some fresh herbs and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • You can also use Shemin’s other Spice Blends in this recipe. It would work very well with our Jerk, Cajun, Harissa, Barbecue or Mexican Blends.
  • Grate a little parmesan onto the salad, if desired.

    These spicy little meatballs are delicious! I did change the recipe a little by adding breadcrumbs as my chicken mince was quite wet, I also rolled them in flour before cooking. I served mine in pitta breads with little gem lettuce, Parmesan cheese, mayo and Piri piri sauce and they were a big success with the family. I think I may do some chips or spicy rice next time!
