Ingredients

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 sheets of store-bought puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant.

  3. Stir in the diced potatoes, ground turmeric, ground coriander, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook for a few minutes until the potatoes are slightly tender.
