Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups of all-purpose flour with additional for sprinkling
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 8 ounces unsalted butter 2 sticks, cut into cubes and chilled
  • ½ cup cold water
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter ½ stick
  • 1 large yellow onion chopped
  • 2 large russet potatoes peeled and cut into large chunks
  • cups roughly chopped carrots about 3 medium carrots
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder adjust to taste
  • 2 cups roughly chopped cooked chicken or cooked turkey
  • cups chicken broth
  • cups roughly chopped mushrooms
  • 1 cup green peas frozen or fresh
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • tablespoons water
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the chilled, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingertips to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add the cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, then flatten it into two disks.
  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent.
  • Add the chopped potatoes and carrots to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and curry powder, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
  • Add the chopped chicken, chicken broth, and mushrooms. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the flavors are well combined.
  • Add the green peas, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, combine the cornstarch with water to form a slurry. Incorporate this slurry into the filling, mixing thoroughly. Keep cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and allow the filling to cool for a bit.
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the chilled pie dough disks into a circle large enough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pie dish, leaving some overhang.
  • Spoon the slightly cooled filling into the pie crust, spreading it evenly.
  • Roll out the second dough disk into a circle large enough to cover the top of the pie. Place it over the filling, trimming any excess. Pinch the edges together to seal and crimp as desired. Cut a few small slits in the top of the crust to allow steam to escape.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water. Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash for a beautiful golden-brown finish.
  • Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Allow the pie to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy this warm, comforting, and flavorful curry pot pie with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
