Curried Fish Pie

This fish pie was inspired by Jamie Olivers Curried Fish Pie recipe. As I still haven’t collected my many recipe books from Scotland, I found myself craving this recipe and not being able to find it online anywhere. So, I did my best to recreate while adding my own touches. I hope you enjoy!
INGREDIENTS:
* 350g fish pie mix
* 150g prawns (preferably raw king)
* 1.2kg potatoes, peeled and chunky dice
* 1tsp turmeric
* 1tsp smoked paprika
* 2 white onions, finely sliced
* 2tsp turmeric
* 2tsp fenugreek seeds * 2tsp ground ginger
* 1tsp chilli powder
* 1tsp cumin
* 1tsp medium curry powder
* 4tbsp sunflower oil
* handful of curry leaves
* 2tsp black onion seeds * 2 chillies, sliced
* 2 cloves garlic, sliced
* 1 bag spinach
* 1 tin coconut milk
* juice of 1 lemon
* handful cherry tomatoes, halved
METHOD:
• Put your potatoes in a pan of salted boiling water and add the turmeric and paprika, give a little stir
• Meanwhile, put a frying pan on a high heat and add the sunflower oil to heat up
• Add the curry leaves and black onion seeds until they start to sizzle and pop slightly
• Then add your chillies and garlic and fry for 3-4 mins until softened slightly
• This is called a temper
• Set half of this mix aside and to the half left in the pan add your sliced onions and fry off until soft
• Add your turmeric, ginger, cumin, curry powder and fenugreek seeds to the onions and cook for 3-4 mins
• Add your tin of coconut milk and juice of half the lemon, leave to simmer
• Meanwhile your potatoes will most likely be ready to drain, leave to steam a little in a colander or sieve
• Once your sauce has thickened slightly, add the spinach, tomatoes and check for seasoning and whether you wish to add the last bit of lemon juice

• Take the sauce off the heat and add your fish and prawns and put in your chosen baking dish
• Mash the potatoes and top the fish mixture, you can pipe the mix or make a pattern as in my picture with a palette, or regular, knife
• Pop in the oven for 30-40 minutes at around 180 degrees Celsius and then top with the remaining temper when it comes out the oven
ENJOY!!!
