Tip 1: If you would like the pie to be more saucy add cream. (We prefer single cream)
Tip 2: If the mixture is too runny mix 3/4 tbsp of cornflour in less than a 1/4 cup of milk & then add to the mixture.
Tip 3: You can also fill small pastries using this mixture which can be frozen & baked as needed.
This was a perfect pie for me… it just tasted exquisite… ceamy and just the right amount of mushroom flavour and the chickne was an added compliment to the taste! MashaAllah!

I tried this pie for dinner tonight and it was so yummy masha Allah. I added cheese to the mixture for a different twist. Next time I might try adding sweet corn and carrots too.
