Delicate, spiced pastry packed with curried chicken thighs and vegetables.<\/p>\n

I adore a pasty and can easily snaffle several of them, irrespective of the filling.<\/p>\n

They are also a great way to use left-overs or general odds and sods lurking in the fridge or freezer.\u00a0For these I simply used some chicken thighs, onions, carrots, potatoes and frozen peas, cooked off with curry spices before encasing in the pastry.<\/p>\n

However, I sometimes just use any left-over curry from a previous meal: Nisha Katona\u2019s 30-minute Mowgli<\/em> book has a stunning chicken keema recipe that I sometimes use for these.<\/p>\n

When making from scratch, I add most of the filling ingredients to the food processor and pulsed until it the chicken and vegetables broke down somewhat, but not quite to a mush. However, you can simply chop the filling ingredients up finely. The trick, though, is keeping some identifiable pieces of vegetables \u2013 not least for texture.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve gone fairly mild on the heat front, but you can amp up the heat. You can also add all manner of other goodies: chopped chillies, ginger, different vegetables (cauliflower is wonderful!), using mince lamb or left-over cooked meat from a roast..\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n

A good shop-bought shortcrust or puff pastry is great but I made a quick shortcrust on the food mixer that I flavoured with curry spices so that the filling is not the only star of the show!<\/p>\n
