Chilli cornbread pie
Instructions
Step 1
Warm the oil in a non-stick skillet on medium heat and sauté the onions and celery for 8 minutes, stirring frequently. Mix in the spices and garlic, followed by the passata, bean salad (including the liquid from the cans), and bouillon. Cover the pan and let it simmer for 10 minutes, then add the coriander. Transfer to a shallow ovenproof dish and let it cool slightly.Step 2
Preheat the oven to 190°C/170°C fan/gas mark 5. Combine the cornmeal, gram flour, baking powder, and chili powder in a bowl and mix thoroughly. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg, yogurt, and milk together, then add to the dry ingredients and stir to form a batter. Mix in the cheese, then spread the mixture over the bean chili and bake for 30-35 minutes until the cornbread is golden and puffed. Prepare half the corn salad ingredients and serve with half of the chili, saving the rest for later. The pie can be stored covered and refrigerated for up to four days. Reheat in the microwave until it is steaming hot.
