Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste

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

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 500g chicken thigh fillets, cut into 2cm chunks
  • one large onion, sliced
  • four garlic cloves, crushed
  • 3 tbsp Shemin’s Ras El Hanout
  • 150g fresh spinach leaves
  • 250g basmati rice, rinsed
  • 500ml chicken stock
  • 150ml water
  • 4 tbsp fat-free natural strained Greek yoghurt
  • One unwaxed lemon, zest and juice, plus extra wedges to serve
  • 3 tbsp sultanas

How to make One-pot Moroccan Spiced Chicken Pilaf

  1. Heat a lidded cast iron pot or large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and brown the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes, working in batches if need be. Transfer the chicken to a plate, then add the onion to the pan with a pinch of salt. Cook over a medium heat for 7 to 8 minutes, until starting to colour.
  2. Add the garlic, spinach and drained rice, cook for a couple of minutes until the spinach has wilted then return the chicken thighs to the pan. Season and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes. Mix Shemin’s Ras El Hanout into the stock and add 150ml of water, then pour over the rice, making sure the rice is submerged. Bring to the boil, cover with a lid and turn the heat down to the lowest setting. Cook for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and all the water is absorbed into the rice.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the yoghurt with the lemon zest and juice, season and set aside. Remove the lid, fluff up the rice with a fork, top with a few spoonfuls of yoghurt and scatter over the sultanas. Serve the pilaf with the remaining yoghurt and lemon wedges to squeeze over.

Tips

Tips:
  1. Soak the rice for 30 minutes before adding.
  2. Don’t be tempted to open the lid! Keep the lid on until the very end, and then a further 5 minutes after the heat is turned off.
  3. Make sure the stock is seasoned well, as this will flavour your rice. Not enough seasoning will make the ri
