Instructions
Marinade chicken first and mix well. Leave to marinate for at least 30 mins, overnight is best.
Then get the chicken using 1 tablespoon oil. Cook the chicken 80%.
For the curry, add oil and butter. When hot add the garlic, fry for about a minute and then add the onions. Add some salt at this stage to soften the onions quicker. Put on low heat and cover with lid.
Once the onions have softened, mash them.
Then it's time to add your spices. Make sure your spices don't burn. Fry the spices for about 30 seconds and then add the tomato puree. Mix well. Add a little bit of water from your one cup to cook the spices, then add the rest of the water after about 20 seconds.
You can now cover with a lid and cook on low to medium heat for around 3 mins. Once you see the oil separate around the edges, it's done. Add fenugreek by crushing it in your hands before adding.
Next add the chicken. Bring to a simmer and cook and chicken fully. Once your chicken is done (should take around 3 minutes), add the cream.
Bring to a boil and then your done. Add a small knob of butter to finish.
For the pie, line your muffin trays with the shortcrust pastry. Cut out a big and small circles to like your tray. Oil the tray before putting the pastry in.
Once you've lined the side and bottom, fill proportionally. Then seal the top.
Seal both bits of pastry by pinching the sides. Brush the top and side with egg. Use a fork to create a nice finish.
Create an incision in the centre.
Put in oven on 200c for 30 mins.

Hi can you show how to make pastry please

[@blahblahblah1905]

Looks amazing! Deffo gonna try. Just a question- how long would you say it took for the chicken to be 80% cooked? And could you double the amount of chicken (and therefore double all quantities) to make more pies? As I can see it made 4?

[@itsBabaCooks]

Hey, mine took around 10 mins to cook. And yes I made 4 pies from the ingredients, just double the ingredients. Hope you enjoy.

[@saibss]

What size pastry cutters did you use so they would fit in the muffin tin? Thank you

[@itsBabaCooks]

Hey, our muffin trays are actually quite big and we didn't have a cutter big enough so we improvised and used a bowl. Just make two pieces, one big enough to cover the base and sides and another for the top which should be easier.

would it work with puff pastry?

[@fnawaz7860]

Hello, did the one roll of pastry only make 4 pies or can you make more pies from one roll of pastry?

[@itsBabaCooks]

Hey, I only managed 4 from one but all depends on the size.

[@fnawaz7860]

@@itsBabaCooks thank you. Did you let the filling cool down before putting it in the pastry or did you do fill as soon as it was cooked?

[@itsBabaCooks]

@@fnawaz7860 hey, by the time you prepare the pastry, the butter chicken should cool down a little.
