You’ll also need…

1.5 litre baking dish

Method

Heat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/ gas 6. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and fry the curry paste for 2-3 minutes over a medium heat. Stir in the defrosted ragù, then add the peas and spinach and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the coriander and pour into the baking dish.
Wet the edge of the baking dish, then unroll the pastry over the top of the pie. Pinch/crimp the pastry edges to stick the pie crust to the dish. Poke a few holes in the centre of the pastry with a small knife, then brush all over with the beaten egg. Scatter the top with the nigella seeds, then bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp and the filling is bubbling hot. Serve with a green salad.

For a lighter option than puff pastry, top the pie with a few scrunched-up sheets of filo pastry, brushed with melted butter.
