3 oz. tomato paste
3 oz red curry paste

1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon curry
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 (14 oz) can coconut milk
Hot cooked rice and/or naan for serving
Cilantro for serving

Instructions
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onions until they become soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the ginger and garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Add the chicken breast to the skillet with the cooked onions. Add the tomato paste, red curry paste and the Indian spices to the chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the chicken until it's well coated with the onions, tomato and curry pastes and spices.

Pour the coconut milk over the chicken mixture and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then set the heat to low, and simmer for 20 minutes.

Serve over white rice and/or naan, and garnish with cilantro, if desired

Recipe Notes
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 3-4 days in the fridge.

Make Ahead: If you want to prepare some of the dish ahead of time. You can saute the onions, garlic and ginger with the butter and olive oil. Then transfer the onion mixture to a bowl, add all the ingredients on top of it and stir to combine. You can do this up to one day in advance. When ready to cook, just put everything in a pan, bring to a boil, then simmer on low heat for 20 minutes.

Sourcing: You can find most of the spices at major grocery stores. Garam masala may not be as widely available, but you can find at Indian specialty stores.

Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. If you can't find garam masala, you can make your own blend. Here's are two popular substitutions: 1 part cumin plus 1/4 part allspice. Or any combination of: Coriander, Cumin, Black Peppercorns, Cardamom, Cloves, Nutmeg.

Ingredients

FOR THE FILLING
2 tbsp olive oil or coconut oil
1 large onion , chopped
3 large carrots , peeled and chopped
3 - 4 stalks celery , diced
3 - 4 cloves garlic , minced
2 cups chicken cooked and chopped in pieces
2 tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot powder or 1/4 cup flour
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup frozen peas
1/2 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp fresh thyme , chopped
1 cup coconut milk
salt and pepper to taste

FOR THE PASTRY
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 baking powder
1/2 cup butter , cold and diced (or vegetable shortening)
1 egg , beaten
2 tsp white wine vinegar
1/4 cup cold water plus a tablespoon or two more if needed
1 egg (reserved for the egg wash)

MAKE THE PASTRY
In a small bowl, add the egg and break it up with a fork. Add the vinegar and the cold water. Set it in the fridge or freezer for a moment.
In a bowl or your mixer, add the dry ingredients. Then add the butter. Pulse in your mixer till it resembles small peas, or break up with a pastry cutter by hand. Next add the liquid slowly and mix till just combined.
Pour out on to a surface and mold into a ball. Wrap it in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 1/2 an hour. 1 hour is better.

MAKE THE FILLING
In a large skillet, add the oil and heat to med-high. Add the onions, carrots, celery and stir until till the onions get translucent. Add the garlic and stir until veggies are almost cooked.
Add the chicken and the broth. Stir to combine. Next add the peas, turmeric, and thyme.
Take 1/4 cup of the coconut milk and add the cornstarch or arrowroot and make a slurry (Mix till there are no lumps) and then add the slurry and the rest of the coconut milk to the mixture.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Let the mixture come to a boil and thicken. Pour into an large ovenproof dish and turn on your oven to 400 degrees.

MAKE THE POT PIE
Remove the pastry dough from the fridge and roll it out into the shape of your dish. It doesn't have to be perfect. You can trim it once it’s on the dish.
Cover the chicken and veggie mixture with the pastry dough and let the pastry cover the whole dish and come over the sides of the dish. Trim any excessive bits. Cut a few vents in the crust.
Beat the reserved egg in a small bowl and brush the top of the pastry with the egg. This will give you a beautiful crust. Place on a baking try to catch drips and put it in the oven for 25 to 30 mins or till the crust is golden brown.

PIZZA DOUGH - BOBBY FLAY

Ingredients
3 1/2 to 4 cups bread flour, plus more for rolling (I used 3 1/2 reg flour)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 envelope instant dry yeast
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 1/2 cups water, 110 degrees F
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus 2 teaspoons

Directions
Combine the bread flour, sugar, yeast and kosher salt in the bowl of a stand mixer and combine. While the mixer is running, add the water and 2 tablespoons of the oil and beat until the dough forms into a ball. If the dough is sticky, add additional flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together in a solid ball. If the dough is too dry, add additional water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead into a smooth, firm ball.
Grease a large bowl with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil, add the dough, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put it in a warm area to let it double in size, about 1 hour. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 equal pieces. Cover each with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let them rest for 10 minutes.

Cook’s Note
Using bread flour will give you a much crisper crust. If you can't find bread flour, you can substitute it with all-purpose flour which will give you a chewier crust.

Since it’s a tray bake it would depend how small/big the squares you cut it into! 😂

One inch squares = 117 😉
