Our sauces are conveniently available for you. We've done the hard work, so all you need to do is take these elements, combine them in a pan, and let them simmer. A paste is an essential component that requires a personal touch. It's essentially a mix of spices, but it truly comes to life with fresh ingredients, creating a delightful meal. For home cooks, I highly recommend keeping a sauce on hand for those nights when you want a quick yet authentic-tasting meal. When you have more time, a paste is perfect for adding a personalised touch to your Indian recipes.

Our curry paste, sauces and spice blends use 100% natural ingredients of the finest quality. We use lovely fresh herbs, and source the highest quality spices, roast and grind the spices, so each pot is bursting with flavours. We never add water to the pastes and we never add fillers to the spice blends and sauces, as I am passionate about giving you the same authentic flavours that I enjoy in my own cooking.

For a list of individual ingredients in each product please look under product descriptions on the shop page.

Keeping the products chilled allows us to use fresh ingredients and stay true to our authentic recipes, removing the need to tinker with the acidity, water or salt levels or add in chemical preservatives. This keeps our products 100% natural and tasting superb, the way it should be!

Shemin's Sauces last 3 days once opened and are suitable for home freezing for up to 6 months. All of Shemin’s Curry Pastes last 4 weeks once opened.

Shemin's Indian Breads last 3 days in the fridge once opened, but can be frozen once opened for up to 5 months.

As Shemin’s Curry Pastes contain fresh ingredients, they should be kept in the fridge. The products have been tested to last outside the fridge while they are being posted, for up to 18 days. Please refrigerate or freeze upon receipt.

Shemin's Curry Sauces can be kept out of the fridge, but as they contain fresh ingredients, they will retain more freshness if kept in the fridge. If possible, keep them refrigerated.

It depends on the recipe that you are using. When making a curry, each 100g pack of Shemin’s Curry Pastes make 1kg of ingredients, so a meal for 5-6 people.

If your curry is turning out too spicy, make sure you are adding the correct ratio of curry paste to ingredients. Each 100g pack should make around 1kg of ingredients. If you use less ingredients and more paste, the curry will turn out hotter.

You can add ingredients like coconut milk, natural yoghurt or crème fraîche to your curries to cool them down.
