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.

Indian Easter Curry (Nargisi Kofta)

A deliciously different curry, that you probably haven’t tried before. An Easter inspired dish that is delicious all year round!

Ingredients

  • 500g Lamb mince (can use beef mince if you prefer)
  • 4 Hard-boiled eggs, cooled, shell taken off
  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • 100g Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste
  • 1 Small onion, chopped finely
  • 3 tsp Shemin’s Garam Masala
  • 3 tbsp Gram Flour (also known as besan flour)
  • Salt to taste
  • Oil for deep-frying
  • 1 tbsp Cooking oil
  • 1 large Onion chopped
  • 400g Tin chopped tomatoes
  • 3 tbsp Single cream or natural yoghurt
  • 4 tbsp Freshly chopped coriander, some for garnish

Method

1. Combine the mince, beaten egg, 1 tsp Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste, the finely chopped small onion, 2 tsp Shemin’s Garam Masala, gram flour and salt to taste. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and take one portion of mince and wrap it evenly around one of the hard-boiled eggs. Repeat with the remaining mince and eggs to make four koftas.
2. Heat the oil in a deep frying pan over a high heat. When hot turn the heat down to medium. Gently deep-fry the koftas for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a tray lined with kitchen paper to drain. If you want to bake these koftas, place them on a greased baking tray and bake in a pre-heated oven at 200’C for 30-35 minutes or until cooked.
3. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan and fry the onions for 7-8 minutes until light brown in colour. Add the rest of Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste with a splash of water and cook for 4-5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and simmer the curry sauce for about 20 minutes. Add the rest of the Garam Masala, single cream or yoghurt, and chopped coriander. Season to taste.
4. Serve in a bowl with rice, the curry sauce and a kofta cut in half on the top. Garnish with chopped coriander.
