Most butter chicken pies use standard shortcrust or puff pastry. Tommy uses roti paratha - a light, layered flatbread that crisps beautifully in the oven and brings a completely different texture and flavour to the crust. The filling itself is made from chicken marinated for 24 hours in yoghurt and spices, then slow cooked to order. It's handmade in small batches, not mass-produced, and the difference is obvious.
