How to make chicken pie with chunky potato topping
Add butter to a large skillet. After the onions are softened, add the chopped garlic and onion.
Cook the chicken with all the spices, except garam masala. Once it is cooked, add the potatoes and peas. Cook the potatoes until done. Cover the pan and let it cool.
Then add the tomato tin and cornflour mixture. Once the consistency is thickened, turn off the heat and then add garam masala. Allow the mixture to cool. Meanwhile, heat the oven at 180°C. Make a pastry sheet. Place the chicken mixture on top. Bake the pie for 45 minutes, or until it turns golden brown.
