This is the same as the Alton Brown recipe on Food Network's website. It has over 150 positive remarks there so I thought it needed a few more stars here as well. I used pie crust on top instead of puff pastry because I didn't have any on hand (we are snowed in). Even my 6-year-old ate this and gave it a 10. A delicious recipe that pot pie lovers should try!

My son made this for dinner tonight and it was great! I don't usually like curry but this was fine. Even picky dd liked it (she did say it needed more meat).
