  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Whisk all-purpose flour, pastry flour, and salt in a bowl. Drizzle 2 tablespoons vegetable oil into the mixture while stirring until clumps form. Add cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, stirring until the dough comes together; shape into a ball, cover with a damp towel, and set aside.

  3. 3

    Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes; drain. Transfer the drained potatoes to a large bowl and mash until only small chunks remain.

  4. 4

    Stir the mustard seeds, curry powder, ground ginger, cumin, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl.

  5. 5

    Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion, carrot, and garlic in the hot oil until the carrot is tender, about 5 minutes.

  6. 6

    Push the onion mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour the seasoning mixture into the skillet and cook until the spices are toasted and fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir the onion mixture and spice mixture together; add the vegetable broth and peas to the skillet and stir.

  7. 7

    Fold the carrot mixture into the mashed potatoes; add the sugar, stir, and season with salt and pepper. Spread the filling in a 9-inch pie plate.

  8. 8

    Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; roll it into an 11-inch circle. Lay the dough over the pie filling, pressing down in several spots to release any air pockets. Trim the excess dough from the edges. Crimp the edges with your fingers. Cut a large 'X' in the center to vent steam. Brush the dough with milk.

  9. 9

    Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown, 40 to 50 minutes. Let the pie cool for 5 minutes before serving.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
