Method

For this recipe we would require 3 – 4 inch round pie moulds.
To make the filling, heat oil in a pan, add diced onions & sauté.
Add the diced chicken breast and cook to get a light brown colour, add the Kohinoor Bhuna sauce, salt and add garam masala. Cook on a high heat and dry the sauce.
Remove from heat and mix in the diced boiled potato and chopped coriander, cool the filling.
Thaw the frozen short crust pastry as per instruction on pack. Roll the pastry into 3 – 4mm thickness, line the moulds, fill with the chicken filling, cover with a pastry lid, making sure both the side and top are sealed, crimp the top, make a small hole in the centre.
Whisk the egg and brush the top of the pastry. Sprinkle with a few nigella seeds.
Bake in a pre-heated oven without fan at 160 degree centigrade for 45-60 minutes.
Whilst your pies are cooking, prepare your masala mash. To make the mash, peel, dice and cook the potatoes. When cooked, mash the potatoes and keep aside. Heat the butter in a pan, add the cumin seeds, chilli and turmeric powder, mix in with the mashed potatoes. Add milk, salt and mix well to fluff the mash
Allow to cool for a minimum of 30 minutes, carefully remove the moulds.
