Balti Pie with Gravy and Mumbai Mash

Pie 'n' mash with a delectable Indian twist...

More info

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.
