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.

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 500g diced pumpkin
  • 50g Shemin’s Indian, Goan or Massaman Curry Paste
  • 500ml chicken stock
  • 270ml coconut cream
  • 250g shredded cooked chicken breast
  • 100g green beans, trimmed and halved
  • 150g Greek-style yoghurt or crème fraiche
  • 1 chopped green chilli (optional)
  • 20g shredded coconut, toasted
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the pumpkin and cook for two minutes. Add Shemin’s Curry Paste and cook for one minute or until fragrant.
  2. Add the stock to the pan. Bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for five minutes or until the pumpkin is tender. Remove from the heat. Cool slightly and use a blender or a stick blender to blend until smooth.
  3. Add the coconut cream and place over a medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Add the chicken and beans. Cook for two minutes or until the beans are tender.
  4. Divide the soup among serving bowls. Top with the yoghurt or crème fraiche. Sprinkle with chopped chilli, coconut and chives.
  5. Serve with Shemin’s Indian Breads.

Tips:

  • If you prefer your soup more runny, add more stock or water at the end of cooking.
  • If making a vegetarian / vegan version of this soup then you can use coconut yoghurt and also add chickpeas instead of chicken.
