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.

For the cucumber raita:

For the fresh pineapple salsa:

  • 200g fresh pineapple chunks, finely chopped
  • 10 cherry tomatoes, quartered
  • 1 small shallot, finely chopped
  • 1 small red chilli, finely chopped (optional)
  • Small handful of fresh coriander, chopped
  • Juice of ½ lime

Method

  1. Marinate the halloumi: Coat halloumi with Shemin’s Curry Paste . Set aside while you prep the salsa and raita.
  2. Make the raita: Mix cucumber, yoghurt, lemon juice, Shemin’s Cumin Powder, and salt. Chill until ready.
  3. Make the salsa: Combine pineapple, cherry tomatoes, shallot, chilli, coriander, and lime juice in a bowl. Toss gently and set aside.
  4. Cook the halloumi: Grill or pan-fry for 1–2 mins per side until golden and slightly crisp.

  6. Assemble: Add grilled halloumi to each tortilla, followed by a spoonful of raita and a scoop of fresh pineapple salsa.
  7. Serve: Plate up and serve immediately with extra lime wedges if desired.

Tips

  • Swap halloumi for grilled chicken strips marinated in Shemin’s Curry Paste for a meaty alternative.
  • Use Shemin’s Indian Breads as a base instead of tortillas.
  • Add sliced chilli or chilli sauce for heat.
  • Perfect with grilled corn or a fresh salad for the full summer experience.
