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.

Butter Chicken Pot Pie with Naan Crust

Try our twist on the classic chicken pie, filled with succulent, spiced chicken thighs in creamy curry sauce and topped with a crusty naan.

Ingredients

For the Naan Crust
  • 1 tsp Active dry yeast / fast acting dry yeast
  • 180ml Warm water
  • 2 tsp Sugar
  • 260g Plain flour, plus more for dusting
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • Pinch of Baking powder
For the Butter Chicken

Method

  1. Start by preparing the naan dough. In a glass jug combine the dry yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar and warm water and let it sit for about 10 minutes or until foamy. Meanwhile sift the flour, salt, 1 teaspoon sugar and baking powder in a large bowl.
  2. When the yeast is ready, mix 2 tablespoons of Greek yoghurt and olive oil into the yeast mixture. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix. When the dough is nearly formed use your hands to mix and knead until the dough is soft. Cover with cling film and let rise in a warm area for 2 hours.
  3. While you wait make the chicken marinade. Combine the rest of the Greek yoghurt, lime juice, Shemin’s Garam Masala and Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste and mix well. Coat the chicken with the mixture and leave to marinade for at least 30 mins.
  4. Add the butter and olive oil to a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add in the diced onion and saute until softened, about 10 mins.
  5. When the onion is soft, add in the chicken mixture and cook for 5 minutes. Then add the tin tomato and tomato paste, and simmer, uncovered for about 30 mins.
  6. Pre-heat the oven to 200°C / Gas mark 6.
  7. Add the vegetables and cream to the curry and continue to cook on a medium heat for 5 mins.
  8. Grease the edges of 6 small casserole dishes or 1 large casserole dish, and fill with the Butter Chicken curry.
  9. On a lightly dusted surface, turn out the dough and divide into 6 equal pieces (if using small casserole dishes) and gently stretch to cover the top of the dishes. Press to the sides to adhere.
  10. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with melted butter. Serve immediately.

Garnish with coriander leaves and sea salt if desired
