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.

Lamb Shanks braised with onion and Garam Masala

Lamb Shanks make for some of the best braised meat. Garam masala is an aromatic mixture of spices, used as a base in many Indian dishes like curry. In this reicipe it gives a lovely flavour and warmth and when combined with the bone and the marrow to enrich the sauce, the result is a dish that has superb flavour and wonderfully tender meat.

Ingredients

4 Medium lamb shanks (about 1.5 kg in total)

350ml Natural Greek yoghurt or crème fraiche or a mixture of both

150g Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste (Mild, Medium, Hot or Chilli-Free)

4 tbsp Rapeseed oil 2 tsp Shemin’s Garam Masala

1 Medium onion, peeled and sliced 250ml Water

Method

1. Pat the lamb shanks dry with kitchen paper and sprinkle with salt, pepper and a little of the garam masala.

2. Preheat oven to 160°C / gas mark

3. Mix the yoghurt or crème fraiche with Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste and the rest of the garam masala, set aside.

4. Put the oil in a very wide flameproof sauté pan or casserole dish, large enough to hold the shanks easily and set over a medium to high heat. When hot, put in the shanks and brown them on one side. Turn them over, dropping the onion slices in between them. Brown both meat and onions moving them around the pan as you need to. When the other side of the shanks has browned, stir in the curry paste mixture and water. Bring to boil.

5. Cover the pan and place in the oven for 3 hours, turning the shanks over every 30 minutes.

6. Skim the oil over the sauce if you want to, and serve with mash potato or rice and nann bread.

    Scrumptious!!! Make sure you brown the onions so they are as dark as you can get without burning. This is my go to show stopper and it never fails! I use whole legs trimming off all the skin and fat and brown the meat first one leg at a time then remove and then brown the onions. For 1 leg I double quantities for sauce (we love the sauce and save any left over; it’s tte best part!)
