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.

Railway Lamb Curry

This spicy lamb curry was introduced in the 1900’s by chefs working aboard the Indian railways during the British Raj. The story goes that this recipe was served to first class passengers on long journeys. This classic curry is traditionally cooked with mutton but I have opted for lamb on the bone.

Ingredients

2-3 tbsp cooking oil
4 medium red onions, sliced
100g Shemins Indian Curry Paste (chilli-free, mild, medium or hot)
2 red chillies, chopped (optional)
1 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
1 tsp Shemins Pilau / Biryani Masala
900g lamb shoulder (or mutton), on the bone and / or diced
300g chopped tinned plum tomatoes
700ml vegetable stock
1 tsp Shemins Garam Masala
½ bunch coriander leaves, chopped for garnish

Method

 

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the red onions and cook over a medium heat, stirring occasionally to ensure the onions brown evenly. Reduce the heat as the onions begin to brown.
  2. Once the onions are a nice golden brown, add the Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste, red chillies, coriander and Shemin’s Pilau / Biryani.
  3. Stir well and cook for a further 2-3 minutes over a low heat.
  4. Add the lamb, stir well and cook for 5 minutes over a medium heat.
  5. Add the tomatoes and vegetable stock, then simmer for a further 1½ hours or until the lamb is meltingly tender.
  6. Check the seasoning then finish with a sprinkling of Shemin’s Garam Masala powder and the chopped coriander leaves.
  7. Serve hot with Shemin’s Indian Breads.
