Equipment

Microplane optional, for grating the ginger
12" skillet or saute pan
9" Pie Plate

Ingredients

1 Tablespoon canola oil or other neutral-flavored cooking oil
2 medium onions about 12-13 ounces, minced
4 medium potatoes about 14-16 ounces, peeled and cut into 1/2" cubes
2 teaspoons kosher salt or MSG-salt, divided
1 pound ground chicken or ground turkey
2 medium green chiles stems, seeds, and ribs removed, minced
1 Tablespoon grated fresh ginger
6 cloves garlic minced
2 teaspoons garam masala
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 cup frozen peas
store-bought or homemade pie dough for two 9" pie crusts
1 egg
1 Tablespoon milk or water

Instructions

Heat oven to 425°F and get a 9" pie plate out.
Heat 1 Tablespoon canola oil in a large skillet or saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced onions, cubed potatoes, and 1 teaspoon of the kosher salt. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the onions are soft and the potatoes are beginning to soften, reducing heat to medium if the onions start to brown.
Add 1 pound ground chicken and the remaining 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Cook, breaking up the ground chicken with your spoon, until the ground chicken is no longer pink, about 5-8 minutes. Stir in the minced chiles, 1 Tablespoon grated fresh ginger, the minced garlic, 2 teaspoons garam masala, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric. Cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup frozen peas and cook until they're no longer frozen, about 2-3 minutes. Remove the mixture from heat.
Carefully unroll one of the pieces of pie dough and place it into your 9" pie plate. Transfer the filling into the pie dough and smooth it so that it's even on top. Roll the second piece of pie dough and place it on top of the filling. Crimp the edges of the two pieces of dough together. Cut several slits in the top of the lid of the pie.
Whisk together 1 egg and 1 Tablespoon milk. Brush the top of the pie dough with a thin layer of the egg mixture (reserve the remaining egg mixture for scrambled eggs or to bake with - use within 2 days). Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375°F and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes, until the top of the pie is golden brown. Set the pie on a cooling rack and cool for 20 minutes before serving.
