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

Moroccan dishes are big on flavour, aroma and spice. Transport yourself to a sun-drenched courtyard in beautiful Morocco with this lovely recipe. Doesn’t it look delicious!

Ingredients

  • 400ml Tin chopped tomatoes
  • 2 Onions, 1 sliced and the other roughly chopped
  • 1 tbsp Crushed garlic
  • 1 tbsp Crushed ginger
  • 2 tbsp Cooking oil (replace with spray oil if on Slimming World)
  • 600g Boneless chicken thighs
  • 3 tbsp Shemin’s Ras El Hanout Spice Blend
  • 3 medium Carrots, peeled and diced
  • 400g tin Chickpeas, drained
  • 600ml Chicken stock
  • 1 tbsp Red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Brown sugar (optional / exclude if on Slimming World)
  • Handful of fresh parsley, chopped

Method

1. Place the roughly chopped onion, tin tomatoes, ginger and garlic in a blender and blend into a smooth paste. Set aside.
2. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large pan on a medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and fry the chicken until brown. The chicken doesn’t need to be cooked through at this stage. Once browned, set aside.
3. Heat another tbsp of oil in the same pan you used for the chicken, and add the sliced onions. Fry until softened, about 5 minutes.
4. Add Shemin’s Ras El Hanout Spice Blend to the pan and stir in with the onions. Then add the blended onion/tomato mixture to the pan. Stir in and let it cook for about 3 minutes.
5. Return the chicken to the pan and add the carrots, chickpeas, stock, vinegar and sugar. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. When ready, stir in the chopped parsley and serve with rice or cous cous.
