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 Laab

Bursting with vibrant flavours and fresh ingredients, our version of this traditional Thai dish is a delightful blend of mince, aromatic herbs, zesty lime, and savoury spices. Perfect for those craving a taste of Southeast Asia!

Ingredients

  • 500g ground pork (you can also use other mince, see tips)
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 handful of fresh Thai basil leaves
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp Shemin’s Thai Paste – Green or Red (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp sugar (optional)
  • Juice of half a lime

For serving:

  • 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
  • 1 iceberg lettuce, leaves separated
  • 4 Shemin’s Chapatis
  • 1 cucumber, outside peeled into ribbons, inner core cut into chunks
  • 1 carrot, shredded
  • Mint leaves
  • Chopped chili (optional)

 

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, stir in the ground pork, stir fry for 2-3 minutes or until it changes colour, remove from pan and set aside (leave the remaining oil in the pan).
  2. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, then stir in green and red pepper and onion, and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add the pork back into the pan and toss in the Thai basil leaves.
  4. Add the fish sauce, soy sauce, Thai Curry Paste and sugar, turn to medium-high heat and stir-fry for a minute. Then stir in the lime juice.
  5. Spoon 1/2 tablespoon of hoisin sauce, or as much as you like, across the chapati. Top with lettuce and spoon over the pork mixture. Top with cucumber, carrot, mint, and fresh chili slices to serve.

Tips:

  • Feel free to substitute ground pork with other types of ground meat such as chicken, turkey, beef for variety.
  • For a meatless version of this dish, substitute the ground pork with plant-based alternatives such as crumbled tofu or vegan mince.
  • Leftover pork mixture makes a tasty filling for sandwiches, wraps, or omelettes the next day. Simply reheat and enjoy!
  • Instead of chapatis, try serving the pork mixture in lettuce cups or soft tortillas for a lighter option.
  • Experiment with different garnishes such as crushed peanuts, sliced scallions, or a drizzle of sriracha sauce for added texture and flavour.
