Ingredients

For the pastry:

100g gluten free flour
40g low fat spread
2 teaspoons of chia seeds soaked

For the filling you will need:

1 onion diced
1 tsp of ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp nigella seeds
½ tsp ground turmeric
2 medium sized sweet potato- grated
1 tin low fat coconut milk

Instructions

Step 1:

For the Pastry, mix the gluten free flour and low fat spread together with fingers till you get a breadcrumb consistency. Gradually add the soaked chia seeds whilst carefully bringing the mixture into a dough. You may not need all the chia seeds to form a dough.

Step 2:

Roll out into a circle and chill briefly before transferring to a pie dish. Blind bake at 180°c for 10 minutes.

Step 3:

Meanwhile, for the filling, cook the onions with the dry spices in a little oil till translucent. Add the grated sweet potato and mix, cooking briefly. Add the low-fat coconut milk and low salt stock cube and cook till the sweet potato is tender.

Step 4:

Transfer the filling into the pie case and top with extra nigella seeds. Bake at 180°c for about 25-30 minutes till the top starts to colour. Let the pie cool slightly before serving and enjoy.
