For the pie

  1. Peel the potatoes and cut into chunky chips, boil for 3 minutes, then drain and set aside.

  3. Spread the mashed peas into the bottom of a pie dish.

  4. Cut the fish into chunks.

  5. In a pan, melt 60g (2oz) butter, then stir in the flour to make a paste. Slowly add the milk to make a smooth roux.

  6. Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas Mark 4.

  7. Add the fish chunks and chopped parsley to the sauce, season, stir, then sit on top of the peas.

  8. Place the cooked chips on top, brush with oil, then bake the pie for 35-45 minutes until the chips are golden. Serve with the curry sauce.
