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.

Pair these dips with our utterly moreish bhajis and you have culinary heaven!

Ingredients

 

1 large apple, sliced
1 large courgette, grated
1 parsnip or medium potato, grated
Salt and pepper
½ tsp Shemin’s Turmeric Powder
60g Shemin’s Indian Curry paste or to taste
½ tsp Shemin’s Ground Cumin
200g gram flour, sieved
a few sprigs of mint, chopped
1/2 a small bunch fresh coriander, chopped
200ml water
750ml oil for deep frying
salt and pepper

Method

Method

1. Mix all the ingredients together for the bhajis
2. Take a spoonful and drop into the oil
2. Deep fry in batches for 3 to 4 minutes at 170°c
3. Drain onto kitchen paper and sprinkle with salt

Dip

For a delicious dip try mixing balsamic vinegar with some salt, a little red chilli or chilli flakes, and some shallots finely chopped. To make our crème fraîche dip, heat a tablespoon of Shemin’s Indian or Seafood Curry Paste with 2 tbsp of water in the microwave for 20 seconds, then mix with a tub of crème fraîche (300ml). Add more curry paste for a stronger dip.

Tips

  • To test the oil is at the right temperature, add a drop of batter and it should immediately crisp and rise to the top of the pan
  • As an alternative to the above you can use onion, broccoli, grated potato, courgettes or sliced aubergines, peppers etc…
  • If you have it, add 1tsp bicarbonate of soda to the mix to make the batter lighter
