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.

Moroccan Chicken Traybake

When you eat this dish you’ll be transported to a sun-soaked courtyard filled with lemon trees in Morocco. Flavoured with Shemin’s Ras el Hanout, this dish is a heady mix of aromas, tastes and textures, and is no more than just a simple job of assembling the spices, marinating the chicken, and putting it all in the oven to bake.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Shemin’s Ras el Hanout Spice Blend
  • 1 tbsp ground ginger
  • 2 tbsp runny honey
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 750g boneless, skinless chicken thighs (can use chicken drumsticks if you prefer)
  • 300g cherry tomatoes
  • 1 whole lemon, cut into eights
  • 1 medium fennel bulb, sliced
  • 8 garlic cloves sliced with skin removed
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 10 dried apricots cut in half
  • 50g pistachio nuts
  • 1 small bunch coriander, chopped

Method

  1. In a large bowl, mix Shemin’s Ras el Hanout, ginger, honey and the olive oil. Once combined, coat the chicken and leave to marinate in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  2. Preheat the oven to 180ºC / Gas Mark 4.
  3. Scatter the tomatoes, lemon wedges, fennel, apricots and garlic, over the base of a large baking tray or ovenproof dish that’ll easily accommodate the chicken in a single layer, then sit the chicken on top. Mix the red wine vinegar with 2 tbsp of water and any remaining marinade, then drizzle over the chicken. Roast for 45 minutes.
  4. Remove from the oven, check the seasoning, and scatter the pistachio nuts over the top. Return to the oven for a final 10 minutes.
  5. Check the chicken is cooked, then remove from the oven, cover, and leave to rest for 5 minutes. Before serving scatter with coriander and if you want, you can remove the lemon wedges.
  6. Serve with couscous as per instructions (we cooked ours in stock and added some feta plus coriander to it) and a good dollop of yoghurt.

TIP: If you’re vegetarian, swap out the chicken to make a sumptuous vegetarian traybake of sweet potato and chickpeas.
