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.

Slow Cooked Gobi Matar

Slow cooking brings out the very best in this classic Indian combination. Cauliflower becomes melt-in-the-mouth tender, peas add sweetness, and Shemin’s Curry Paste ties everything together into a rich and satisfying curry.

  • Total Time: 5–6 hours on low (hands-off cooking)
  • Serves: 4
  • Calories per Serving: Approx. 280 kcal

Ingredients

Method

  1. Cook the Onions: Heat oil in a pan and sauté the onions over medium heat until golden brown.
  2. Add the Paste: Stir in Shemin’s Curry Paste and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Build the Base: Add the tomatoes and cook for another 2–3 minutes, stirring well.
  4. Slow Cook: Transfer everything into the slow cooker. Add the cauliflower, peas, stock, and salt. Stir to coat.
  5. Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 5–6 hours or HIGH for 2–3 hours, until the cauliflower is tender.
  6. Finish: Stir through Shemin’s Garam Masala before serving. Garnish with fresh coriander.

Tips

  • Make it Creamier – Stir through a splash of coconut milk or a knob of butter before serving.
  • Boost the Protein – Add a tin of drained chickpeas along with the cauliflower.
  • Make Ahead – This curry keeps beautifully. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze in portions.
  • For Meat Eaters – Add 400g diced chicken or lamb to the slow cooker at step 4 for a non-vegetarian version.
  • Extra Greens – Stir in a few handfuls of spinach or kale 10 minutes before serving.
  • Serve Ideas – Perfect with basmati rice, naan, or even as a filling for baked jacket potatoes.
  • Shortcut Option – You can throw all the ingredients straight into the slow cooker and let it do its job, but for the best flavour it’s worth taking a few minutes to build the base layer by layer.
