- 4 cups boneless chicken, cubed
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- 1 cup green beans, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 8 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoon dried rosemary or few strands of fresh rosemary. You can also use hara dhaniya.
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
-1/2 teaspoon tikka masala (any brand)
- 1 cup milk or heavy cream
- 1 pie dough ( see also recipe below how to make pie dough)
Ingredients: for Pie Dough Recipe:
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup ice water













Instructions:-
1. In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add chicken with garlic and tikka masala. Cook until the chicken is slightly tender, about 5 minutes and change its color.
2. Now add the steamed vegetables in chicken and stir a little. Add the rest of the masalas (sea salt, pepper, garam masala).
3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour. Sprinkle this mixture over the vegetables and chicken in the skillet and stir to coat on medium heat. It will thicken in just 2 min.
4. Slowly pour in the milk or cream stirring constantly. Cook until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil, about 5 minutes.
5. Let it cool a bit. 6. Roll out the pie dough and place it over a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough hanging over the edges. See recipe below.
7. Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture into the uncooked pie.
8. To create a lattice crust: Roll out the second pie crust and cut it into strips. Lay half of the strips vertically over the filling, leaving some space between each strip. Fold back every other strip halfway and lay a horizontal strip across the unfolded strips. Unfold the folded strips and fold back the remaining vertical strips. Lay another horizontal strip across the unfolded strips. Repeat
9. Trim and crimp the edges of the pie crust to seal. 10. Optional: Prepare an egg wash by whisking an egg with a tablespoon of water. Brush the egg wash over the top of the pie crust.
11. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes on 350 degrees and later 425 degrees for about 45 min or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Check open the oven every 15 min as each oven is different.
12. Allow the pie to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
