How to make it:

Step 1

Heat oil in a 5.5cm-deep, 23cm round (base) 28cm (top) flameproof baking dish over high heat. Add chicken. Cook, stirring, for 4 minutes or until browned. Transfer to a plate. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion. Cook, stirring, for 4 minutes or until well browned. Add garlic and ginger. Cook for 30 seconds. Add spices. Cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant.

Step 2

Add tomatoes and 1 cup water. Stir, scraping base of pan. Return chicken to pan with pumpkin and potato. Bring to the boil. Cover. Simmer for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Preheat oven to 220C/200C fan-forced. Uncover dish. Boil gently, stirring, for 10 minutes or until thickened. Stir in cream, peas and coriander. Season.

Step 4

Cut each pastry sheet into 4 squares. Cut each square in half diagonally to make 16 triangles. Using picture as a guide, arrange triangles on a flat surface, overlapping, to form a circle. Cut a 2cm hole from centre (see note). Carefully place pastry on top of pie, folding excess pastry over edge of dish to seal. Brush top with egg.
