Whilst we’re not claiming to have invented the balti pie (it’s been a favourite in football grounds in the Midlands since the 1990's and the Antipodeans have long been fond of a curry-flavoured pie), we are saying that our version is pretty good! This pie and gravy has all the flavours of a classic Birmingham balti curry - with additional carrots - and is swathed in a delicious, buttery shortcrust pastry flavoured with ajowan and coriander leaf, and topped with nigella seeds. We're serving the pie and gravy with obligatory mashed potatoes (flavoured with mustard, turmeric and curry leaves), minted peas and a spicy mango chutney.

My husband said this was the best pie he had had in a long time. Everything was so flavourful I highly recommend this

It makes us hap-pie to hear that you both really enjoyed this brilliant Balti Pie!

5/5

Surprising easy to make. I swapped chicken for mushrooms to make it vegetarian.

YUM! We think this looks brilliant made with mushrooms - using fungi makes a really fun-pie!

A little time consuming to make, especially with chilling and the pastry but it was absolutely delicious. I would definitely make this again

This looks like a brilliant Balti Pie - we're pleased to hear you found this recipe worth the wait! Happy spicing!

This is quite possibly the best recipe we have had in our 6 month subscription. Really easy to make and follow recipe, the mango chutney was incredible and we are most certainly going to order this again.

Excellent! Glad you enjoyed it- this is a favourite at Spicery HQ too, thanks for sharing and happy spicing!
