For the mildly adventurous this is the more flavorful cousin to Trader Joe’s Steak & Ale Pies. Similarly, this pie heats up nicely in the microwave. While a little chewy, the crust is not soggy after heating. Considering it was heated in a microwave, the nicely flavored crust is fairly crispy. Instructions for oven heating are also included.
The filling comes out hot after the 5 minutes in the microwave. The filling is flavorful and mild for a curry.
There are little bits of spicy things in the filling that makes each forkful taste slightly different. In the same way, when there’s a chunk of crust on the fork with some of the curry, the taste is different yet. A thick paste-like curry sauce surrounds relatively small pieces of chicken, potatoes and carrots. At 740 calories, with about half coming from fat, this is just about a meal in itself.
It’s comfort food, flavorful, good, different and dinner for two for six dollars!

I’m disappointed my Trader Joe’s is no longer carrying the Chicken Balti pies.
