METHOD

  1. Preheat the oven 200C (fan-forced)

Add in the garlic, mushrooms and a pinch of sea salt and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until mushrooms have softened. Sprinkle in the curry powder and cook for 1 minutes or until fragrant. Spoon in the flour and cook, stirring for 2-3 minutes to cook out the flour. Pour in the stock and coconut cream and stir until smooth. Gently simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until the sauce is thick and rich. Remove from the heat and stir in the chicken. Place the mixture into the fridge to cool completely.
  3. Line a large oven tray with baking paper and lay the sheet of pastry over the tray.
  4. Spoon the chicken curry mixture onto the pastry, leaving a 4cm border. Fold the pastry over to create a crust and brush with beaten egg.
  5. Bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and cooked through. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
  6. Mix the parsley, cucumber, dill with some olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.
  7. Serve the pie with salad and lemon wedges .
