Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste

Our multi-award winning paste will be your new secret when it comes to Indian cooking. 

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 700g skinless, boneless pork belly, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds (optional)
  • 100g Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste (Mild, Medium, Hot or Chilli-Free)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tbsp tomato puree
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 400g can chickpeas, drained
  • 500ml water
  • small pack parsley, chopped

How to make Pork Belly & Chickpea Casserole

  1. Turn on the oven to 180°C / Gas Mark 4.
  2. Heat the oil in a casserole dish with a lid. Brown the pork on all sides – should take about 10 minutes. If your dish isn’t wide enough to fit the pork in a single layer, brown it in batches. Remove the pork and set aside.
  3. In the same dish, add the onion, carrot and fennel seeds, then cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are starting to soften and colour. Add Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste with a splash of water, and let the spices cook gently with the vegetables for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the tomato puree, vinegar, and sugar. Tip in the chopped tomatoes, chickpeas and 500ml water, then return the pork and its juices to the dish, season and bring to a simmer.
  5. Put the lid on the dish and cook in the oven for 1hr 45 minutes. Check occasionally – if the sauce looks too thick, add a splash of water.
  6. Remove the dish from the oven and stir through the parsley. Check the seasoning, then serve with crusty bread or boiled potatoes.
