Homemade Chicken Curry Pie Recipe Made with Cambodian Chicken Curry. Copyright 2020 Terence Carter / Grantourismo. All Rights Reserved.

Homemade Chicken Curry Pie Recipe Made with Cambodian Chicken Curry

This chicken curry pie recipe uses the classic Cambodian chicken curry to make a flavourful spicy chicken pie. Unlike the classic curried chicken pie which uses curry powder to flavour the chicken filling, this recipe uses a Cambodian red curry paste. The classic Cambodian chicken curry has potatoes, long beans and Asian eggplants, which we’ve included to create a really hearty chicken pie.

A chicken curry pie recipe is nowhere near as popular back home in Australia where the classic meat pie rules in our meat pie and sausage roll loving country. However, if we happen to come by an award-winning artisanal bakery* on our travels and they have a curried chicken pie on the blackboard, we’ll always get one to try it. Lara is a curried chicken pie lover and when they’re made by Australia’s best bakeries they are incredibly delicious.

Chicken curry pies are also a good option if you don’t eat red meat. However, note that the best bakeries in Australia will often sell out of their curried chicken pies early in the day. A bakery will generally only make a very small amount of chicken pies compared to the classic meat pie that Aussies love so much. (Having said that, we’re also experimenting with a vegetarian pie based on a classic Cambodian soup recipe that Lara will post over coming days.)

Now if you want to make a curried beef pie, do try my recipe for a curry beef pie made with Cambodian Saraman curry based on Cambodia’s wonderful Saraman curry, a rich complex curry that’s a cousin of Thailand’s Massaman curry), and my spicy pork minced pie filled with prahok k’tis, a rich pork mince, prahok, coconut cream, and pea eggplant dip. If you’re also partial to a sausage roll, try my Saraman curry sausage rolls and my sausage rolls with eggplant and pork inspired by the Cambodian char-grilled eggplant and minced pork.

As you can guess, we’re pork lovers and Cambodia’s pork, much of which is free-range, compares well with delicious Australian pork. If you’re also a pork fan, do see our top 12 pork recipes. And if you’re a lover of the Australian sausage roll, also see my Aussie sausage rolls recipe adapted from Jane Lawson’s nostalgic Milkbar Memories cookbook, which we dip into when we’re a bit homesick. Now let me tell you a little about my spicy pork mince pie recipe.

* If you’re travelling in Australia, this is the website you need to check for the best Australian bakeries to try for award winning meat pies and sausage rolls.

Chicken Curry Pie Recipe Made with Cambodian Chicken Curry

When making chicken curry pies back home in Australia, good commercial bakeries will typically use boneless chicken thigh meat that’s trimmed of excess fat, which is what we use for our Cambodian chicken curry. In a good Australian bakery, the sauce for the curried chicken pie is usually made from chicken stock and a little cream, and flour is used as a thickening agent.

In my homemade chicken curry pie recipe, I do exactly what I do if I’m making a Cambodian chicken curry and I use coconut milk and chicken stock, which is cooked until the sauce is reduced until it’s very thick. I can’t emphasise how important this is.

I like to make a big batch of the Cambodian chicken curry and save some so I can make this homemade chicken curry pie recipe the next day, setting aside a couple of intact chicken thighs for the hearty filling. I chop these up before refrigerating the Cambodian curry overnight.

Note that it’s important that there is not much ‘loose’ sauce left. When you take the curry out of the fridge the next day, there should only be a little oil on the curry. If there’s too much, separate this from the curry as this will possibly leak out of the pie casings.

My number one tip for working with pie pastry to make this homemade chicken curry pie recipe is to stay calm. Have all of your cutting rings ready, as well as your egg wash. Work in a cool room. I actually have to do all my pastry and bread-making prep in my home office as I have a concrete and Italian terrazzo ‘desk’ (yep) that stays cooler in the smaller space, whereas our kitchen is like an oven.

I turn the A/C down to 20˚C before working with the pie pastry. While it’s easy to work with the puff pastry (you’re basically working with a single circle of dough), the shortcrust pastry has to be moulded into the pie tin. Don’t worry if it splits or you need to add more pastry to create the overlap over the edges of the tin. It’s easy to add to or fix the dough.

Tips to Making the Cambodian Chicken Curry

Note that we’ve swapped out sweet potatoes for regular potatoes as we find that cooking the sweet potatoes (which break down faster) in the curry muddies the flavour of the curry. If you want to use sweet potatoes I recommend cooking them separately and adding them to the curry at the last minute.

Chop the long beans into tiny pieces and make sure to chop up the chicken thighs into bite-sized chunks. While my original recipe for the Cambodian chicken curry, which I’ve linked to above, calls for a whole chicken, this chicken curry pie recipe requires 600 g of boneless, skinless chicken thigh meat.

Equipment

  • 4 individual pie tins, 12cm at the top, 8cm at the bottom and 3.5 cm deep

Ingredients

  • 800 g Cambodian chicken curry as per the recipe
  • 2 sheets shortcrust pastry frozen 25.5 cm square
  • 1 sheet puff pastry frozen 25.5 cm square
  • 1 whole egg lightly beaten lightly beaten

Instructions

  • Make the Cambodian chicken curry as per the instructions here and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
  • When you’re ready to make the pies, remove the shortcrust pastry from the freezer and allow to thaw a little.
  • Using a pastry cutter, cut 4, 14 cm rounds. Lightly grease the pie tins and place the shortcrust pastry into the tins, working away from the centre. You should have around 1 cm of pastry hanging over the edges. Refrigerate the pie tins for at least two hours to firm up the pastry.
  • After two hours, remove the puff pastry from the freezer and allow to thaw a little.
  • Remove the pie tins from the fridge and fill each pie tin with the Saraman Curry. Baste the overhanging pastry with the beaten egg.
  • Cut the puff pastry sheets into 12.5 cm rounds and place each on top of each pie tin. Fold the shortcrust pastry over the puff pastry and seal all around. You can use the back of a fork and go around the top to ensure the seal is good.
  • Make a small incision in the centre of each pie to form an air vent. Brush the top of the pie with more beaten egg, being careful to not cover the air vent. Place the pies back in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 200˚C with a baking tray on the centre rack.
  • When ready remove the pies from fridge and place on the baking tray. Cook for 10-12 minutes at which time the top should be lightly golden.
  • Reduce the heat to 180˚C and cook for another 10 minutes to ensure the centre of the pie is hot. If the tops of the pies start to look too golden brown, you can place a sheet of aluminium foil on top of the pies.
  • When done, allow to cool slightly before eating.

If you haven’t visited our site in a while, I sh If you haven’t visited our site in a while, I shared a collection of recipes for homemade edible Christmas gifts — for condiments, hot sauces, chilli oils, a whole array of pickles, spice blends, chilli salt, furakake seasoning, and spicy snacks, such as our Cambodian and Vietnamese roasted peanuts. 

I love giving homemade edibles as gifts as much as I love receiving them. Who wouldn’t appreciate jars filled with their favourite chilli oils, hot sauces, piquant pickles, and spicy peanuts that loved-ones have taken the time to make? 

Aside from the gesture and affordability of gifting homemade edibles, you’re minimising waste. You can use recycled jars or if buying new mason jars or clip-top Kilner jars, you know they’ll get repurposed.

No need for wrapping, just attach some Christmas baubles or tinsel to the lid. I used squares of Cambodian kramas (cotton scarves), which can be repurposed as napkins or drink coasters, and tied a ribbon or two around the lids, and attached last year’s Christmas tree decorations to some.

This crab omelette is a decadent eggs dish that’ This crab omelette is a decadent eggs dish that’s perfect if you’re just back from the fish markets armed with luxurious fresh crab meat. It’s a little sweet, a little spicy, and very, very moreish.

Our crab omelette recipe was one of our 22 most popular egg recipes of 2022 on our website Grantourismo and it’s no surprise. It’s appeared more times than any other egg recipes on our annual round-ups of most popular recipes since Terence launched Weekend Eggs when we launched Grantourismo in 2010.

If you’re an eggs lover, do check out the recipe collection. It includes egg recipes from right around the world, from recipes for classic kopitiam eggs from Singapore and Malaysia and egg curries from India and Myanmar to all kinds of egg recipes from Thailand, Japan, Korea, China, Mexico, USA, Australia, UK, and Ireland.

And do browse our Weekend Eggs archives for further eggspiration (sorry). We have hundreds of egg recipes from the 13 year-old series of recipes for quintessential egg dishes from around the world, which we started on our 2010 year-long global grand tour focused on slow, local and experiential travel. 

We’re hoping 2023 will be the year we can finally publish the Weekend Eggs cookbook we’ve talked about for years based on that series. After we can find a publisher for the Cambodia cookbook of course... :(

I’m late to share this, but a few days ago Angko I’m late to share this, but a few days ago Angkor Archaeological Park, home to stupendous Angkor Wat, pictured, celebrated 30 years of its UNESCO World Heritage listing. 

That’s as good an excuse as any to put this magnificent, sprawling archaeological site on your travel list this year.

While riverside Siem Reap, your base for exploring Angkor is bustling once more, there are still nowhere near the visitors of the last busy high season months of December-January 2018-2019 when there were 290,000 visitors. 

Last month there were just 55,000 visitors and December feels a little quieter. A tour guide friend said there were about 150 people at Angkor Wat for sunrise a few days ago.

Our soy ginger chicken recipe will make you sticky Our soy ginger chicken recipe will make you sticky, flavourful and succulent chicken thighs that are fantastic with steamed rice, Chinese greens or a salad, such as a Southeast Asian slaw. 

The chicken can be marinated for up to 24 hours before cooking, which ensures it’s packed with flavour, then it can be cooked on a barbecue or in a pan.

Terence’s soy ginger chicken recipe is one of our favourite recipes for a quick and easy meal. I love the sound of the sizzling thighs in the pan, and the warming aromas wafting through the apartment. 

It’s amazing how such flavourful juicy chicken thighs come from such a quick and easy recipe.

Who can guess the ingredients and what we’re mak Who can guess the ingredients and what we’re making with my market haul from Psar Samaki in Siem Reap — all for a whopping 10,000 riel (US$2.50)?! 

Birds-eye chillies thrown in for free! They were on my list but the seller I spent most at (5,000 riel!) scooped up a handful and slipped them into my bag. She was my last stop and knew what I was making.

My Khmer is poor, even after all our years in Cambodia, as I don’t learn languages with the ease I did in my 20s, plus I’m mentally exhausted after researching and writing all day. I have a better vocabulary of Old and Middle Khmer than modern Khmer from studying the ancient inscriptions for the Cambodian culinary history component of our cookbook I’m writing.

So when one seller totalled my purchases I thought she said 5,000 riel but she handed back 4,500 riel! The sum total of two huge bunches of herbs and kaffir lime leaves was 500 riel.

Tip: if visiting Siem Reap, use Khmer riel for local shopping. We’ve mainly used riel since the pandemic started— rarely use US$ now as market sellers quote prices in riels, as do local shops and bakeries, and I tip tuk tuk drivers in riels. I find prices quoted in riels are lower.

Psar Samaki is cheaper than Psar Leu, which is cheaper than Psar Chas, as it’s a wholesale market, which means the produce is fresher. I see veggies arriving, piled high in the back of vehicles, with dirt still on them — as I did on this trip. 

The scent of a mountain of incredibly aromatic pineapples offloaded from the back of a dusty ute was so heady they smelt like they’d just been cut. More exotic European style veggies arrive by big trucks in boxes labelled in Vietnamese (from Dalat) and Mandarin (from China), such as beautiful snow-white cauliflower I spotted.

Note: the freshest produce is sold on the dirt road at the back of the market.

My Vietnamese-ish meatballs and rice noodles recip My Vietnamese-ish meatballs and rice noodles recipe makes tender meatballs doused in a delightfully tangy-sweet sauce, sprinkled with crispy fried shallots, with carrot-daikon, crunchy cucumber and fragrant herbs. 

The dish is inspired by bún chả, a Hanoi specialty, but it’s not bún chả. No matter what Google or food bloggers tell you. Names are important, especially when cooking and writing about cuisines not our own.

This is an authentic bún chả recipe:  https://grantourismotravels.com/vietnamese-bun-cha-recipe/ You’ll need to get the outdoor BBQ/grill going to do proper smoky bún chả meat patties (not meatballs).

My meatball noodle bowl is perhaps more closely related to dishes such as a Central Vietnam cousin bún thịt nướng (pork skewers on rice noodles in a bowl) and a Southern relation bún bò Nam Bộ (beef atop rice noodles, sprinkled with fried shallots (Nam Bộ=Southern Vietnam) though neither include meatballs. 

Xíu mại= meatballs although they’re different in flavour to mine, which taste more like bún chả patties. Xíu mại remind me of Southern Italian meatballs in tomato sauce.

In Vietnam’s Mekong Delta, home to millions of Khmer, there’s bánh tằm xíu mại. Bánh tằm=silk worm noodles. They’re topped with meatballs, cucumber, daikon, carrot, fresh herbs, crispy fried onions. Difference: cold noodles doused in a sauce of coconut cream and fish sauce. 

Remove the meatballs, add chopped fried spring rolls and it’s Cambodia’s banh sung, which is a rice noodle salad similar to Vietnam’s bún chả giò :)

It is pure coincidence that Pepper’s eye colour It is pure coincidence that Pepper’s eye colour matches the furnishings of our rented apartment. So, no, I did not colour-coordinate the interiors to match our cat’s eyes. 

I keep getting DMs from pet clothing brands wanting to “partner” with Pepper and send her free cat clothes and cat accessories. Although she did wear a kerchief for a few years in her more adventurous fashion-forward teenage years, I cannot see this cat in clothes now, can you?
