Ingredients

The base sauce:

  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 pot (100g) Shemin’s Tikka Paste
  • 400g canned chopped tomatoes
  • 200ml double cream
  • A knob of butter (optional)

Add your leftovers (very flexible):

  • 800g cooked turkey (or chicken, lamb, roasted veg)
  • Leftover roast potatoes, diced
  • A handful of peas (fresh or frozen)

How to make Quick Tikka Masala Curry with Shemin’s Tikka Paste

  1. Soften the base – Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Add the onion and cook gently until soft and translucent.
  2. Build the flavour – Add the Shemin’s Tikka Paste with a splash of water. Cook for 1 minute, stirring, and loosen with more water if needed.
  3. Create the sauce – Stir in the chopped tomatoes. Bring to the boil, then simmer uncovered for 10 minutes until rich and slightly thickened.
  4. Add the leftovers – Gently stir in your cooked turkey, potatoes and peas (or whatever you’re using). Heat through carefully — no need to boil.
  5. Finish and serve – Add the cream and butter if using. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes until glossy and comforting. Serve with Shemin’s Indian Breads.

Tips

Boxing Day Curry Tips:

  • No turkey? Chicken, lamb, roasted veg or even sprouts work brilliantly.
  • Dry leftovers? Add a spoon of yoghurt or a splash of water when reheating.
  • Too thick? Loosen with water or milk.
  • Too thin? Simmer uncovered for a few extra minutes.

My husband enjoys all the pickles but we have to buy Lime pickle elsewhere. Is this something that might be offered in the future.
