Curry Chicken Pie
"I created this recipe one night my family came over for dinner. The original recipe called for coconut milk and 1/2 cup of mild curry and potatoes. As I had none of these ingredients to hand I improvised and the pie was a big hit. I was a little surprised given that the chopped spinach made the filling look green. But it was delicious and although I used hot curry paste the amount was only small so the pie was not too spicy. To spice up the pie you could add more curry paste and remove the evaporated milk and cream and substitute for coconut milk."
