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.

This is one of those recipes that after we made it the first time, we made it again and again!

The spices added to both the marinade and the panko breadcumb mix, give a beautiful depth of flavour to every bite.

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken thigh fillets, skin removed
  • 200ml sunflower or groundnut oil for frying

For the Marinade:

For the Crispy Coating:

Method

  1. Combine all the marinade ingredients in a bowl large enough to hold the chicken. Flatten out the chicken fillets (see tips below) and add to the marinade, making sure they are well covered. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours or preferably overnight.
  2. Remove the chicken from the fridge half an hour before you want to cook it. Add the panko breadcrumbs, corn flour, salt, Shemin’s Smoked Paprika and Shemin’s Garam Masala together in a bowl and mix.
  3. Take each chicken thigh out of the marinade and shake off the excess marinade. Then place in the panko mix, pressing down and rubbing on the mix until the chicken is well coated.
  4. Heat the oil in a high sided pan large enough to hold 2 thigh fillets at a time. The oil should be 1.5cm deep. Bring up to 170°C (if you don’t have a thermometer drop in a breadcrumb -it should start to sizzle and turn brown).
  5. Fry the chicken for 5-6 minutes turning gently with tongs half way through until evenly golden. Drain the chicken on kitchen paper and transfer to a baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
  6. Serve with a salad and chips. You can also serve the chicken in a bun like a burger with salad and mayonnaise.

Tips:

  1. To help fry the chicken quickly without putting it in the oven, place a layer of cling film on your work surface and pop the chicken fillets on top. Cover with another piece of cling film and, using a rolling pin, to bash the chicken until it is 2-3mm thick.
  2. After step 6 above, if the chicken is not done, you can put the chicken in the oven on 170°C (fan) / 190°C / 375°F / Gas Mark 5, for approx. 6 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and there is no pink chicken when cut. You can also put it in the microwave.
  3. You can use different cuts of chicken for this recipe like drumsticks or breast.
