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.

Aloo Chicken Curry

The tender chunks of chicken, the comforting presence of potatoes, and the burst of vibrant green peas come together in this delicious curry that promises to delight your taste buds!

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 1 finely chopped onion
  • 500g diced boneless chicken thighs
  • 100g Shemin’s Indian, Goan, or Massaman Curry Paste
  • 400g chopped tomatoes
  • 2 large potatoes, washed and diced
  • 400ml coconut milk
  • 1 cup thawed frozen peas
  • Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
  • 120g baby spinach
  • A handful of chopped fresh coriander

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over low heat. Sauté onions until golden.
  2. Increase the heat slightly and add the chicken, cooking until browned, then stir in Shemin’s Curry Paste with a splash of water and cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add the chopped tomatoes and mix, then add the diced potatoes, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until nearly cooked.
  4. Pour in the coconut milk, simmer uncovered for 5 more minutes.
  5. Add the thawed peas, season to taste.
  6. Finally, add the baby spinach and cover for 2 minutes until wilted.
  7. Mix everything, serve, and garnish with coriander.

 

Tips:
  • While boneless chicken thighs are recommended for tenderness and flavour, you can use chicken breast if you prefer leaner meat.
  • When browning the chicken, avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook in batches if necessary to achieve a nice sear.
  • Dice the potatoes into uniform sizes for even cooking. Smaller pieces will cook faster, while larger chunks may require additional time.
  • Chicken Aloo pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, Shemin’s naan bread, or chapatis. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for a zesty twist.
