Method
 

Prepare the Dough
  1. Combine organic all-purpose flour, baking powder, curry powder, turmeric, dried parsley, and thyme in a mixing bowl.
  2. Blend in cubed and grated salted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually mix in almond milk until the dough is just moistened.
  4. Shape the dough into a ball, wrap in plastic, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Make the Filling
  1. Heat extra virgin olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add curry powder, 'burning' it for about 2-3 minutes to enhance flavor.
  3. Sauté diced onion, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger until the onion is translucent.
  4. Stir in cooked shredded chicken, remaining curry powder, sea salt, and allspice.
  5. Mix in full-fat coconut milk and organic chicken stock, simmering for approximately 10-15 minutes until thickened.
  6. Allow to cool completely.
Assemble Patties
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface.
  2. Sprinkle in the remaining grated butter while folding and rolling to ensure flakiness.
  3. Cut the rolled dough into 4-5 inch circles.
  4. Place a spoonful of filling in the center, fold over, and press the edges together to seal.
  5. Brush the tops with an egg wash for a golden finish.
Bake Patties
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the sealed patties on it.
  2. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  3. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Leftover patties can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen post-baking for later enjoyment.
