Method
step 1
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan set over a medium heat. Add the leek and fry for a few minutes to soften. Stir in the curry powder, 8 curry leaves and the flour, toasting the spices for a minute or two. Add the coconut milk, a little at a time to begin with, mixing into the flour to make a smooth sauce, before adding more. Bring to a gentle simmer and season the sauce well.
step 2
Turn off the heat and add the fish pie mix, prawns, sweetcorn and a squeeze of lime juice. Spoon the mixture into a baking or pie dish.
step 3
Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Unwrap the filo and remove one sheet, keeping the rest covered with a tea towel to prevent it from drying out. Brush the sheet with a little oil and scrunch it into a loose ball, then place it on top of the pie filling. Continue with 5 more sheets of pastry, until the top of the pie is covered. Rub the remaining curry leaves in a little oil and poke them into the dips in the pastry. Sprinkle the top with nigella seeds.
step 4
Bake in the centre of the oven for 30 mins, until the pastry topping is golden and crunchy. Serve with cooked veg or salad.
