Method

  • step 1

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan set over a medium heat. Add the leek and fry for a few minutes to soften. Stir in the curry powder, 8 curry leaves and the flour, toasting the spices for a minute or two. Add the coconut milk, a little at a time to begin with, mixing into the flour to make a smooth sauce, before adding more. Bring to a gentle simmer and season the sauce well.

  • step 2

    Turn off the heat and add the fish pie mix, prawns, sweetcorn and a squeeze of lime juice. Spoon the mixture into a baking or pie dish.

  • step 3

    Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unwrap the filo and remove one sheet, keeping the rest covered with a tea towel to prevent it from drying out. Brush the sheet with a little oil and scrunch it into a loose ball, then place it on top of the pie filling. Continue with 5 more sheets of pastry, until the top of the pie is covered. Rub the remaining curry leaves in a little oil and poke them into the dips in the pastry. Sprinkle the top with nigella seeds.

  • step 4

    Bake in the centre of the oven for 30 mins, until the pastry topping is golden and crunchy. Serve with cooked veg or salad.

I quite liked this one, although I used medium rather than mild curry powder, as it was all I had to hand. The proof reader needs to take out the reference to mashed potato though.

question

Where is the mashed potato? The description says mashed potato crust, but the recipe only uses filo?

cahmail

Followed this to the letter and it was a real disappointment very bland won’t be cooking again

Poorly described recipe with no mash inclusion and how does that line up with the “scrunched up” filo sheets?

I’m with you there. Creamy mash preferable with chopped parsley and/or chives
