Tender chicken coated in Shemin’s Curry Paste, charred on the barbecue and served with cooling cucumber raita, warm Indian breads and fresh salad.
This is exactly the kind of easy summer recipe that makes a barbecue feel a bit more special without creating loads of work. The chicken is flattened so it cooks quickly, coated in Shemin’s Curry Paste for instant flavour, then charred until golden, smoky and juicy.
Serve it with cooling cucumber raita, warm Shemin’s Indian Breads, salad leaves and a squeeze of lemon for a simple meal that feels fresh, colourful and full of flavour.

Medium1. Flatten the chicken
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of baking paper or cling film.
Gently flatten them with a rolling pin until they are an even thickness. This helps them cook faster and more evenly, so they stay juicy on the barbecue.
2. Make the marinade
Mix the Shemin’s Curry Paste with the plain yoghurt.
Add the brown sugar if using. This helps the chicken caramelise and gives it a lovely charred finish.
3. Coat the chicken
Spread the marinade over both sides of the chicken.
Set aside while you make the raita, or leave in the fridge for longer if you have time.
4. Make the cucumber raita
Grate the cucumber, then squeeze out as much water as possible.
Mix the cucumber with the yoghurt and a pinch of salt.
Keep chilled until ready to serve.
5. Cook the chicken
Cook the chicken on a hot barbecue for around 5 to 6 minutes on each side, until nicely charred and cooked through.
The chicken should be piping hot with no pink in the middle.
6. Warm the breads
Warm the Shemin’s Indian Breads on the barbecue for the last minute or two.
7. Serve straight away
Serve the charred chicken with cucumber raita, warm Indian breads, green salad leaves and a squeeze of fresh lime.
