This Cape Malay Chicken Curry Pie is the ultimate leftover glow-up — rich, flavorful, and wrapped in buttery, crispy pastry. It’s comfort food with a story, perfect for when you’ve got leftover curry and a craving for something truly special.

Cape Malay Chicken Curry Pie Recipe

Serves: 4-6
Prep Time: 20 mins
Cook Time: 35 mins

Ingredients:

2 cups leftover Cape Malay chicken curry, shredded
1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup potatoes, diced
1 medium onion, diced
½ cup peas (fresh or frozen)
2 tbsp cream
2 tbsp fresh coriander, chopped
1 sheet pie dough (for the base)
1 sheet puff pastry (for the top)
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
1 tsp flaky sea salt
1 tbsp oil or butter for sautéing

Instructions:

Sauté the veggies: Heat oil or butter in a pan, then sauté the onions, carrots, and potatoes until tender and lightly golden.

Build the filling: Shred the leftover chicken and add it to the pan with the vegetables. Stir in the cream, then turn off the heat.

Add freshness: Stir in the peas and fresh coriander, then let the filling cool completely.

Assemble the pie: Line a pie dish with pie dough and spoon in the cooled filling.

Top it off: Lay a full sheet of puff pastry over the top or cut out neat circles for a rustic, homemade look.

Seal & finish: Press the edges with a fork to seal, trim any excess, then brush the top with beaten egg and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.

Bake: Place in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 35 minutes, or until golden and beautifully puffed.

Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice and enjoy — preferably with a side salad or chutney.

✨ Pro Tip:
No leftover curry? Make a fresh batch, let it cool, and follow the same steps. This pie works beautifully with lamb, beef, or veggie curries too.
