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.

Massaman Tikka

This mouthwatering dish combines our aromatic Massaman Curry Paste with succulent chicken, velvety coconut milk, and zesty yogurt for a burst of irresistible flavour.

Get ready to embark on a culinary journey to the heart of Southeast Asia!

Ingredients

  • 850g chicken thigh fillets, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 100g Shemin’s Massaman Curry Paste
  • 4 tbsp natural yogurt
  • 200ml coconut milk
  • Juice of half a lemon
  • Chopped coriander, for garnish

Method

  1. Mix all the marinade ingredients except the coriander in a glass bowl and then add in the chicken pieces.
  2. Marinate for at least half an hour or overnight if possible.
  3. Turn the grill on high and grill the chicken for about 15 minutes or until the chicken is slightly charred and cooked through.
  4. Garnish with chopped coriander and serve with steaming rice and/or Shemin’s Indian Breads.

 

Tips:

  • Skinless chicken thighs work best for grilling as they cook evenly and are less likely to dry out compared to chicken breasts.
  • Ensure your grill is preheated to high before adding the chicken. A hot grill will help sear the chicken quickly, locking in juices and creating a nice char on the outside.
  • Keep an eye on the chicken while grilling to prevent overcooking. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken pieces and the heat of your grill.
  • Allow the grilled chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a juicier and more flavourful dish.
  • You can also thread the marinated chicken onto skewers before grilling for a fun and easy presentation. Just remember to soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes before threading to prevent them from burning on the grill.

    We have just tried your Massaman Tikka recipe and it was absolutely delicious – we cooked the Tikkas in our air fryer on Max Crisp setting and the result was better than anything we have tried in a restaurant! We also tried for the first time the Cauliflower and Harrisa Soup – it was so good, probably the best soup we have ever tasted. Many thanks for exeeedingly good quality products backed up with fantastic recipes.
