Shemin’s Indian Curry Paste

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

Ingredients

beef short ribs (aim for chunky cuts, ~250g each)

Marinade:

  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, crushed
  • 1–2 tbsp Shemin’s Tandoori Spice Blend
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp Greek yogurt or juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • Fresh herbs (optional): I used chopped tyme and rosemary

How to make Tandoori BBQ Beef Short Ribs

  1. Mix all marinade ingredients in a bowl.
  2. Rub the marinade all over the beef short ribs.
  3. Cover and marinate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight in the fridge.
  4. Remove from the fridge 30–60 minutes before cooking to bring to room temperature.

Tips

To Cook:

  • BBQ:
    Brown the ribs directly on the BBQ for colour, then transfer to a foil tray or baking tray. Close the lid and cook at ~135°C for 1 hour. Wrap the ribs in foil and continue cooking for another 1.5 hours. Unwrap, increase heat to 150°C, and cook for a final 30 minutes.

  • Oven:
    Wrap ribs in foil or cover with a lid, bake for 3 hours at 160°C (140°C fan). Remove foil, spoon over any juices, and bake uncovered for another 30 minutes until the meat is tender and comes apart easily with two forks.

Tips:

  • Rest before serving: Let the ribs rest for 15 minutes, covered loosely with foil, to reabsorb juices for extra tenderness.
  • Choose the right ribs: Short ribs shrink by ~30% during cooking, so pick meaty ones if possible. If only smaller ones are available, they will still work well.
  • Serving suggestion: Serve with a fresh mint chutney or raita and a squeeze of lemon for brightness.
