Curry goodness draped in puff pastry! Curry dishes are a few of my household’s favorites so when this recipe appeared I knew I needed to attempt it. The mixture of the madras curry powder and the browned hen thighs and tender greens was scrumptious and the crispy puff pastry topping raised the bar even increased.
This recipe served our household of 4 with my daughter requesting seconds. Whereas this isn’t a 30 minute meal, it’s effectively well worth the time to make. It labored out to about 45 minutes fingers on (with prep and cooking/stirring) in addition to one other 45 minutes fingers off for a complete of 1.5 hours. I took 6 hen thighs and mixed them with the marinade components, including the black pepper to the marinade after which continued on with the veg prep.
After the marinating time was up, I browned the chunks of hen in olive oil earlier than including the greens (for five minutes), the can of full-fat coconut milk, and the hen broth. I allowed this to simmer for the 20 minutes after which added 1 tablespoon of fish sauce (as we prefer it so much and the dish appeared to want a little bit of salt ) together with the inexperienced onions.
My solely bother got here with the puff pastry. The dish I selected to make use of was too massive and the primary piece of puff pastry I thawed was too previous and dried out. The second piece I thawed rapidly after which gently rolled it out a bit to make it greater to utterly cowl the baking dish. I additionally found that it could be higher to chop the slashes into the pastry earlier than inserting it on the dish as once I tried to do it in place the liquid from beneath seeped up and made it laborious to get a great egg wash on it. Subsequent time I’ll reduce it first.
We baked the dish for 20 minutes at 400°F and it got here out golden brown and puffed. After letting it set, we dug in and loved the scrumptious, curry goodness. My solely advice for subsequent time is that I’ll select to thicken the “broth” a bit with a flour roux earlier than baking because it was a bit too soupy. This may even be actually scrumptious with dumplings, I feel I’ll have to present {that a} attempt subsequent time. General, scrumptious and we will certainly make this one once more!
