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.

Thai Green Butternut Squash Laksa with Honey & Sesame Seed Chicken

This is our take on a traditional Asian classic – Chicken Laksa. We’ve got noodles, fresh asparagus and butternut squash in spicy coconut milk topped with succulent honey, sesame seed and five spice chicken. Add the zing of fresh lime and coriander and you’ve got heaven in a bowl. Perfect!

 

Ingredients

  • 550g Boneless chicken thigh fillets
  • 2 tbsp Chinese five-spice power (enough to cover the chicken)
  • 1 tablespoon Runny honey
  • 2 tbsp Sesame seeds
  • 550ml Boiling water
  • 1 Chicken or vegetable stock cube
  • 100g Shemin’s Thai Green or Red Curry Paste
  • 1 tbsp Peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp Fish sauce (optional)
  • 1 tbsp Soya sauce
  • 1 tbsp Sesame seed oil
  • 1 tsp Ground turmeric
  • 400g tin Coconut milk
  • 370g Butternut squash noodles (can be bought at the supermarket)
  • 150g Rice noodles (can also use egg noodles)
  • 1 bunch of Asparagus washed and cut into three
  • Juice of 2 limes to taste
  • Fresh coriander to garnish

Method

1. On a large sheet of greaseproof paper, toss the chicken with sea salt, black pepper and five-spice powder.
2. Fold over the paper, then bash and flatten the chicken with a rolling pin. Place on a griddle plan, turning after 3 or 4 minutes, until nicely charred and cooked through.
3. Pour the boiling water into a large pan and crumble in the stock cube.
4. Mix Shemin’s Thai Curry Paste, peanut butter, fish sauce, soya sauce, sesame seed oil and turmeric, and add to the boiling stock. Add the coconut milk.
5. Add the butternut squash noodles to the pan and bring back to the boil for 3-4 minutes.
6. Add the asparagus and noodles and cook until the noodles are done. Add lime juice to taste.
7. Drizzle honey over the charred chicken, squeeze over the juice of 1 lime and scatter with sesame seeds. Cook for a further 1-2 minutes and when ready cut the chicken into strips.
8. Serve the noodle mixture with the chicken sitting on top and garnish with fresh coriander.
