King of Pies - Chicken Massaman Pie

[@allan010101]

Seriously when are you going to make a cookbook. My poor family is having to listen to your videos while I cook. And to add to their suffering they have to eat all the delicious food and deserts. They run the risk of getting fat and happy. Thanks Rick.

[@BackyardChef]

One day Allan - maybe. Thank you for your comment. Best, Rik

[@loridiaz1640]

Too funny !!! I play videos sometimes while cooking and get those looks from family. Oh there are voices that would REALLY drive your family crazy... Play a Hillbilly Kitchen, Brenda Gantt or Catheriines Plate video.. their recipes are good.. the voices will have family begging for this charming mans lol. I love this channel, I would buy his cookbook if he ever makes one. .

[@joycegemmill8557]

Please make a cookbook

[@robbo1415]

My American missis can’t help just repeat the word “potatoes” every time Rick says it. Her attempts at Yorkshire accent are pitiful, bless.

[@awjohnson1872]

I found your channel by accident and I love it. I am a Texas native and love cooking. Grew up with camp cooks. You and Cowboy Kent Rollins are my favorites. Thank you Sir.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@PAM-ud9lv]

Oh seriously Rik my favourite curry turned into a pie. I’ve just died and gone to heaven I will need to have some restraint since finding your channel. I want to cook everything lol. I thanks so much.

[@BackyardChef]

This is one of my all times favourite creations. I love the curry very much! Eat it at least once a month if not more. In a pie I eat on the go. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@Mike_5]

Anyone who watches your videos and doesn't click the Subscribe icon must be mad Rik you can learn so much!

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks Mike - look at the numbers who watch rip off the recipe and bugger off - with only a handful of likes. That's the world we live in mate. Thanks again really appreciate your comment. Best, Rik

[@DerrickWhittle-mm7jz]

Never would have thought of that as you said superb.

[@BackyardChef]

This is indeed! thank you, best, Rik

[@waynetaylor9631]

I made it tonight and it was amazing, made loads of your food and it never dissapoints. Brought a little sunshine to wales

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks, Wayne. Keep wrapped up. As you know, they are all simple, tasty meals here. Best, Rik

[@neilanthonyhaywardlewis8978]

Your short crust pastry looks divine, I will be making one of your pies next week, we have a group of friends that meet In a pub here in York three times a week, going to make it for our xmas meet on the 21st 😋, oh get in there...

[@BackyardChef]

Well done, Neil. Making friends is a great idea. Best, Rik

[@wurlitzer895]

Well done, Rik! Your enthusiasm is totally infectious. The pie looks - dare I say it - superb!!! Best as always. Pete A :)

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you, Pete - you dare, it is superb! Best, Rik

[@ritatodd1070]

I believe you are the first Rik to make this magnificent Massaman pie. Looks fantastic and I bet it taste even better than it looks.

[@BackyardChef]

Hi Rita, this pie is terrific! It is fantastic cold too. Best, Rik

[@stephensano9156]

Fantastic pie making Rik! Massaman Curry is my favorite and then it gets crowned in a lovely pie. The curry even thickened enough to stay put in the pan.

[@BackyardChef]

I've made one or two pies in my time and this combination of the curry is my recipe and an all-time favourite. Living here in Asia for 20 years has helped me cook just like a Thai. having a Thai chef wife has helped too! Hope you have chance to make it. Best, Rik

[@dianesmigelski5804]

I am so hungry after watching this! I can’t wait to try it. I never would have thought of adding it to a pie. I make plenty of curry so I will be making it soon!👍

[@BackyardChef]

Hope you enjoy. Yes its an original recipe idea that works. Best, Rik

[@allenbrown8158]

Hi Rik I have just ordered one of those ovens/ cant wait to use it

[@BackyardChef]

It is a nice bit of kit mate. Best, Rik

[@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits]

Beautiful pie! Brilliant. And English/Irish/Scottish/Wales traditional pie with Tai ingredient spices inside. Delicious. Is your accent Scottish? Do you miss living in England?

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. No, I'm from Yorkshire. Some aspects of Living in England are missable; however, Asia has been my home for 20 years. Best, Rik

[@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits]

@@BackyardChef Sounds awesome! Blessings.

[@rickyl8359]

Yes, Rick . . . I am also looking forward to a Kindle cookbook from you. 😘❤️🌹🇺🇸

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@harrybond007]

Not a bad pie!

[@janicegame2372]

I have made something similar to this in pasties it works very well!

[@raveon7260]

[@lee30332]

Cor’ superb indeed !!!!!! YummO

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@mudheadborneo9976]

I made this and it was crazy good!!! Loved the simple (and perfect) pastery. Loved the Thai curry brit pie fusion. Just brilliant! Thank you for sharing.

[@BackyardChef]

Great to hear! Its one of mine so really pleased. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@marksmith7789]

Oh my good lord this has to be the best pie I've ever seen, has to be done!

[@BackyardChef]

Hi Mark, it's one of my favourites, with many more on my channel. Best, Rik

[@elayjayudny9741]

I have just sent this link to my Thai daughter in law - she has mastered steak pies to make them for my son and loves Massaman, although she is Isaan herself. I’ll give you a laugh, Rik - my son managed to get some Xmas mincemeat up in Nong Khai and asked her to make some mince pies. She had never actually seen a mince pie, so made them the size of steak pies - the two jars made four 😂 My son wasn’t objecting, though! Best wishes from Lynette in Scotland.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@dodgybodger3124]

Superb Rik. 😉👍

[@pinkmarshmallow352]

Omgoodness. Another unique recipe for my saved list. Brilliant! Thank you Rik. 💕

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@royettasample847]

Yes I agree,a cook book would be wonderful.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@The_Digital_Arts_World]

Nothing beat Thai Curry. ❤

[@BackyardChef]

I agree, however I've lived here in Thailand for 20 years. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@elayjayudny9741]

😮 Wow - a Thai meat and potato pie - what’s not to like? Good with beef, too - I shall give it a try. 😋 BTW The cardamom should be black cardamom (not the green pods) as that’s what gives it its distinctive taste. If you want to make Massaman curry in UK the Thai brand Mae Ploy is readily available in Asian shops and some supermarkets. You could put a teaspoonful in this pie. Thanks for the recipe 🙏 Happy cooking from Scotland

[@BackyardChef]

Thanks for the tips! This is one of my recipes from right here in Thailand 20 years. The cardamoms used are Thai cardamoms, so I guess you have learned something as well-NO, they should not be black cardamom. That's Chinese or Indian. 🙏 Happy cooking from Chiangmai, Thailand. P.s. I'm surrounded by all the ingredients in Thailand and all the various companies that ship out to you in Scotland. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@elayjayudny9741]

Thanks for putting me right on the Cardamom 😊 I like to get things right! I’ve never seen Thai cardamom either in UK or in Thailand, where my son lives. His Thai wife buys her pastes ready made in their local market near Nong Kai. I shall seek it out on my next trip later this year. 😊

[@BackyardChef]

@@elayjayudny9741 Yes pastes are easily available in the markets in fact everywhere here in Thailand. Very convenient if you do not want to make your own - can be salty though. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@FatNormanCoathanger]

Brilliant video.

[@TheresaKozak]

Watching you make pastry is very soothing.

[@BackyardChef]

Wow! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@wissamsaab9841]

Your genuine Massiman pie not only very original but looks mouthwateringly delicious . Your running commentary is so informative & infectious to the extent that I'm going to do it on Monday . I'm a pie ' lover ' in any form ❤😊

[@BackyardChef]

Hope you enjoy. I love it! It is original and delicious. Let me know how you get on. Best, Rik

[@waynetaylor9631]

Looks amazing I'm definitely making this one, I'll let you know how it goes

[@BackyardChef]

You will be fine, good luck. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Best, Rik

[@joniangelsrreal6262]

[@BackyardChef]

[@Prometheus833]

A thing of beauty 👍

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@patrickchadd]

I could listen to you all day LOL - I am making this and the corned beef pie - this looks mad delicious!

[@BackyardChef]

This is one of my personal favourites I love Massaman curry and when I first put it in a pie it was awesome. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@pelqel9893]

Nice one, Rik! You caught me off guard with this one! Love Thai Massaman curry. In a pie? Wow!

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. This is one of my recipes and an all-time favourite. Best, Rik

[@carolrosas6785]

So good!! ❤❤

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@kerrypocock1075]

Yum. Drooling here.

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@jimmyreuben6919]

I always thought Scotch pies was the king of pies, the king is dead long live the king 👍 By the way mate it's time for a haircut lol. The master as always showing us how it's done 👍

[@ZenonZolek]

What an amazing looking pie, and the sound effects when you are cutting it are hilarious lol. Thank you Rik

[@BackyardChef]

Glad you enjoyed it. Best, Rik

[@JamesStarkey-ub4ew]

This would make a great breakfast dish.

[@BackyardChef]

Oh yes! Had it many times. Thank you. Best, Rik

[@Avemarianow]

♥️♥️♥️

[@schinpaisan]

This is amazing khun Rik!! I wonder how the curry pairing up with the pie crust.

[@BackyardChef]

It is amazing - A truly fabulous dish, mate - I love it - The flavors are outstanding, and Chicken and potatoes work so well in a pie. Hope all is good with you. Best, Rik

[@karenwong6634]

Wow I would like to try this isr but f Do you have videos making homemade massaman curry paste

[@janicegame2372]

Look up on google or utube😊

[@BackyardChef]

There needs to be a Massaman paste on the channel - I will have to make one. Best, Rik

[@whitebeardskitchen6473]

A brilliant pie. And super idea fora Massam curry. Video also made me laugh too with some of your comments. Hate all this purist crap on some recipes. No doubt some will ask why you didn't make your own curry paste. But think I'm right in saying even Thai people buy the pastes, mainly because they are time consuming to make and like modem day life, people don't have the time! Wonderful good old fashioned cooking with the Thai twist! 🙂

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. I enjoyed reading your comment, as always. Yes, here in Thailand, you can buy pastes everywhere. Most are made and piled up in stainless steel bowls in the markets, etc., and you go along and buy what you want - there are a couple of curry pastes on the channel, but to be quite honest, anyone in the West would just buy a paste - they wouldn't go to the trouble of making from scratch. As evident by the views on the pastes. Thanks for the comment. Best, Rik

[@whitebeardskitchen6473]

@BackyardChef great to make your own thai pastes Rik. I make them, but only wben someone has got on my nerves and I feel like pummelling their face, so let on ot is their face when using the pestle and mortar! lol 🤣🤣 Can't wait to to give this a go as have a Mae Ploy massam paste in the fridge! Cheers for the great idea.

[@BackyardChef]

If it's the paste I tried in the UK (in a tub), it is very ok. There is a tub for every curry 4 or 5 - I got them in Sainsbury's when I was there. Yes, we make pastes every day here, even simplified pastes for other dishes. I learned years ago - I'm blessed to be married to the best Thai chef in my life. Best, Rik @@whitebeardskitchen6473

[@emmsue1053]

Looks amazing Rik, thank you.

[@BackyardChef]

You are very welcome, hope you give it a go.. Best, Rik

[@tonyphotiou1742]

Had a quick look online for a massaman pie. Couldn't find one. There's a few recipes with a lid, but that's not a pie in my book. Pie needs a top and a bottom. Looks like you're No.1. The first

[@BackyardChef]

Sounds great! Won't be long before there are a few more I'm sure - I'll take No 1 as an original. It is a fantastic pie. Best, Rik

[@wanderingsmith]

Do you have a link for the paste you used? Looks yum, but I fear different paste mixes would yield different results.

[@BackyardChef]

I don't sorry. Thank You. Best, Rik

[@JeanLarkin-j4n]

Do i have to use fish sause ril xx

[@BackyardChef]

No - you can sub for soy sauce not a problem. Best, Rik

[@JeanLarkin-j4n]

Thanks Rik

[@adykirk]

Look lovely wll triy after xmass keep wll we love your videos ples don't stop ore change enny think all videos g8 esept your apron Herts my eyes a bit just the Blake and withe lines over thean the all very good

[@BackyardChef]

I'm so sorry to hear that, Ady - I don't have another apron - I'll have to look in my box. I wish you and yours all the very best for Christmas. Take care. Best, Rik

[@robbo1415]

Yet another dish I’m sure I’d be eating right from the pan, leaving that pastry in the fridge. Need to be stronger 😂

[@BackyardChef]

Thank you. Best, Rik

[@sherriwilson2407]

Ok 29 degrees is actually 80 degrees? Room temp?

[@BackyardChef]

And today here in Thailand its 33 mind you its cooled down with it being raining season - I don't have a problem with temps do you? I cook in 40 degrees in the summer - 44 last summer. Guess what I don't moan about can't cook its too hot! What tosh! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@whiterosetyke]

My mind is now made up, this will be my offering to our group of friends who meet every Saturday at my place in the North East of Thailand. One problem is there is one friend who is vegan. Any suggestions for a vegan companion dish?

[@BackyardChef]

Nope! Thank you. Best, Rik

[@busby777]

Max Miller made a Massaman pie on his channel Tasting History with Max Miller

[@BackyardChef]

No idea. Thank you. Best, Rik
