Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    Can substitute habanero chiles for Scotch bonnet chiles.

    This was really good. The dough was a bit finnicky to work with and it split while baking but the flavor was great. I saw someone say they made this into a pie and I was like wow, why didn’t I think of that?!

    Delicious and very easy to make, especially if you can double-team it. We felt like there needed to be an aioli or some other subtle dipping sauce. We used a full habenero (small) and South Indian Madras curry powder. This recipe makes quite a few, and will definitely repeat for a dinner party.

    Made this as a 9" pie. Dough was sour cream pie dough from Simple Recipes but added curry powder and cayenne. This was spiced very nicely and the meat kept together very well when cut. We really liked it and will make again.
