Method
- Heat oil in a heavy bottomed pan. Add all whole garam masala followed by the chopped onion.
- Sauté the onion until golden brown, add ginger & garlic paste followed by the chilli powder and salt, then cook until the oil is released from the spices.
- Add the diced lamb and sauté the lamb until golden brown and the oil starts to come up to the surface.
- Whisk the yoghurt, toasted gram flour and potato starch together, a little at a time, constantly whisking to prevent curdling.
- Cook the mixture for a while and add the lamb stock, then add in the diced potatoes and carrots.
- Braise the lamb on a gentle simmer, until the lamb is tender and the sauce has reduced by half.
- Add garam masala powder and adjust with seasoning.
- Cool in a blast chiller for at least 90 minutes.
- Check the core temperature, bag pack and store in the refrigerator.
- Separate the lamb pot pie into 5 individual pie portion bowls.
- Cut the pastry sheet to size so the sheets cover the pie dish with a 1” overhang.
- Using a pastry brush, apply the egg wash on the top of the pastry lid and neatly crimp the edges.
- Generously sprinkle poppy seeds and melon seeds on top of the pastry.
- Bake the pies at 180℃ for 15 minutes.
- Serve hot.
