Instructions
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat, add onion and carrots, and cook until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes.
Add chicken thighs to pan and sprinkle with curry powder; using a wooden spoon, toss chicken and vegetables in pan with curry powder until evenly coated. Continue until all sides of chicken have seared, and curry begins to smell toasted, about 6 minutes.
Sprinkle chicken mixture with flour and stir until chicken and vegetables are coated in flour, then add chicken stock and stir until liquid begins to simmer and thicken, about 7 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and add additional cream if using. Allow chicken to come to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 425°F. Divide chicken curry between baking dishes (allow at least an inch between the filling and the top of the dish; this should ensure that dishes do not overflow when baking).
Cut pastry into sections long enough so that it drapes over side of dish by an inch or so, then brush each sheet with beaten egg, covering one side entirely.
Place puff pastry, egg side down, onto a baking dish and repeat with remaining dishes and pastry.
Brush each dish with remaining egg, then cut steam vents in top of each pie.
Place pies on a baking sheet then into the oven, bake at 425°F for 20 minutes, then lower the oven to 400°F and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until pastry is deep golden brown. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving; pass chutney alongside.
