Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams

• Cold water - 60 ml
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Carrot - 1 medium, diced
• Red bell pepper - 1 medium, diced
• Broccoli - 100 grams, chopped
• Green peas - 100 grams (fresh or frozen)
• Thai red curry paste - 2 tablespoons
• Coconut milk - 200 ml
• Lime juice - 1 tablespoon
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 medium, chopped
• Vegetable oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a bowl, mix the flour and salt. Add coconut oil and rub it in until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. In a skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté onions and garlic until translucent.
5. Add diced carrot, red bell pepper, and broccoli to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
6. Stir in green peas, Thai red curry paste, coconut milk, lime juice, and black pepper. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
7. Remove from heat and stir in chopped cilantro.
8. Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a pie dish. Place the rolled dough into the dish, pressing it into the edges.
9. Pour the vegetable filling into the pie crust and cover with a second layer of rolled dough, sealing the edges.
10. Cut a few slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
12. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
