Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken breast
- 2 carrots
- 2 medium potatoes
- 150 g frozen peas
- 1 large onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp curry powder
- 2 tbsp plain flour
- 500 ml chicken stock
- 200 ml coconut milk
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 500 g shortcrust pastry
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and finely chop the onion and garlic. Peel and dice the carrots and potatoes into small cubes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.
In the same pan, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until translucent and fragrant.
Stir in the curry powder and plain flour, and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a rich, aromatic paste.
Gradually add the chicken stock and coconut milk, whisking to form a smooth sauce.
Add the carrots, potatoes, and browned chicken back into the pan. Season with salt and black pepper, then simmer for 15 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the sauce thickens. Stir in the frozen peas and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
Grease a pie dish lightly. Roll out half of the shortcrust pastry and line the base and sides of the dish.
Pour the chicken and vegetable curry filling into the pastry-lined dish.
Roll out the remaining pastry to form a lid. Place it over the filling and press the edges to seal. Trim any excess pastry.
Beat the egg and brush it over the pastry lid for a golden finish.
Cut a small slit or two in the pastry lid to allow steam to escape while baking.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your hearty Chicken and Vegetable Curry Pie!
