Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F. Season chicken breasts with Garam Masala and salt. Fry in a hot pan for 3-4 minutes per side. I prefer to under-cook them just slightly as they will continue cooking during baking. Remove the chicken breasts from the pan and set aside to rest. In the same pan, add a splash of oil and cook the onion, celery and carrot until soft and lightly golden. Add the garlic and spices and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour, stir to coat the vegetables then pour in the stock and cream. Bring to a simmer and allow to cook until thickened. Cube the chicken and stir into the sauce with the lemon juice then season to taste. Top the pie with thawed puff pastry. Brush with beaten egg then place in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden and puffed. Remove from the oven and serve.

Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse together flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces of butter remaining. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons ice water. Pulse until dough is crumbly but holds together when squeezed (if necessary, add up to 2 tablespoons ice water); do not overmix. Form dough into a disk, wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour or overnight (or freeze, up to 1 month). Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Make the filling: In a large pot, melt butter over medium-high. Add onion and cauliflower and cook until softened, 8 minutes. Add garlic and curry powder and cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. Add flour and stir to coat vegetables. Slowly add broth, whisking constantly until sauce is smooth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in green beans. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in chicken. Pour filling into a 2-quart baking dish. On a floured work surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Place dough over dish and fold overhang inward while pinching to crimp edge. Cut vents in dough. Place dish on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling around edge, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes before serving.

Have ready five 24-ounce oval (or 7-inch round) gratin dishes. For the buttermilk biscuits: In a large bowl, whisk the flour, salt and baking powder to combine. Transfer 1 cup of the dry ingredients to a food processor, and sprinkle with the cubes of butter. Pulse 5 to 7 times until the butter pieces are pea-size. Transfer to the bowl with the remaining dry ingredients, and stir to distribute the butter evenly. Make several depressions in the flour mixture with your fingers; add the buttermilk a little at a time, mixing with your fingers, until it is all incorporated. Gently work the dough just until it comes together. Cover lightly, refrigerate 1 hour. For the chicken curry: Warm the oil in a 5-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the chicken thighs, curry powder and lemon grass. Cook, stirring, until the thighs are seared on all sides and the curry powder is chestnut brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the onions and 1/2 cup fish sauce, and cook over medium heat, stirring and scraping the bottom of the pot, for 15 minutes. Add the carrots and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer uncovered until the carrots are tender, about 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate and discard the lemongrass. Add the potatoes and coconut milk to the pan, and bring to a simmer. Pull meat from chicken thighs in bite-size pieces. Return the meat to the curry and continue to cook, uncovered, until potatoes are tender, about 20 more minutes. Taste sauce and, if needed (fish sauces vary in saltiness), season with up to 1/4 cup additional fish sauce. For assembly: Heat oven to 425 degrees. Divide the biscuit dough into five portions. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each portion so it will cover the top of a gratin dish to within 1/2-inch of the edges. Distribute the chicken curry among the 5 dishes and top each with dough. Bake until the biscuits are golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

Add onions, curry, parsley, salt, pepper and chicken to the broth and let simmer until it thickens. Add more flour if needed. Once the sauce thickens to your liking, pour into pie pan and top with pre-made pie crust. Cut slits in top (and brush with butter if you want). Bake at 400 degrees until crust is nice and golden.
