This curried vegetable stew is hearty with potatoes, chickpeas and spinach, packed with heat from serrano pepper, and rounded out by garlic, ginger and heavy cream. For a fun and delicious finish, we top the skillet with a sheet of puff pastry and bake until deep golden brown. Scoop and serve!

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Combine the onion, ginger, garlic and serrano in a food processor; pulse until very finely chopped. Heat the butter in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and cook until the foam subsides (it might brown a little). Add the onion mixture and cook, stirring, until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the spinach and cook until dry, 1 more minute. Stir in the potatoes, chickpeas, curry powder and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Add the chickpea liquid and 1/2 cup water. Simmer until the potatoes soften and the liquid reduces slightly, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream. Remove from the heat.
  2. Unfold the puff pastry and press any seams or cracks together. Carefully lay the pastry over the skillet, tucking the corners and edges into the skillet. Cut 3 small slits in the center to allow steam to escape.
  3. Bake until the pastry is deep golden brown and cooked through, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve the pot pie with chutney and yogurt.
