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.

Quick Coronation Chicken (Curry Paste)

Just another spoonful please!

That was the sentence of the day when we made this creamy coronation chicken. It was gone in minutes. But thankfully we could easily make more as it was also ready in minutes!

We made this using our Mild Indian Curry Paste. If you want a bit more heat, you can use our Medium or Hot Indian paste or Chilli Free for no heat at all but all the flavour! Which is great for the kids too.

Serve with a green salad, in a sandwich, or on a jacket potato.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Place the chicken breasts in a pan with a couple of bay leaves and some peppercorns if you have them. You can cook the chicken in plain water or lightly seasoned with salt and pepper.
  2. Pour water over the top of the chicken breasts so that they are covered with about 1 or 2 inches to spare.
  3. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are cooked through. Skim off any foam that gathers on top. Turn the heat off and leave the chicken to cool in the water.
  4. Put Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste in bowl and mix with a splash of water, about a tablespoon. Cook in the microwave on high for 15 seconds and then mix again.
  5. Mix the crème fraîche, Greek yoghurt and mayonnaise with Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste until it is well combined
  6. Stir in Shemin’s Mango Chutney, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to season.
  7. Once the chicken has cooled down, drain it from the liquid and shred or dice it into strips.
  8. Add the shredded chicken into the curry sauce until it is well combined.
  9. If you are adding sultanas, stir these in now.
  10. Serve with a green salad, in a sandwich, or on a jacket potato.

 

Tips:

  • Make this recipe even quicker by using pre-cooked chicken.
  • Shred the chicken into strips using two forks.
  • You can make the yoghurt mix your own by adding more or less of each component. Some people like a more mayonnaise based sauce. Simply add a bit more to your mix.
  • We also made this with coconut yoghurt and it turned out fantastic! So for those who can’t eat dairy there is no reason to miss out.
