We asked the experts behind then Vegan Chickpea & Daal Balti Pie a few questions. Here's what they had to say...
‘‘What inspired you to create this new vegan pie?’’
At The Original Baker, we’re always looking for ways to innovate and meet the evolving tastes of our customers. One of the driving forces behind the creation of the Vegan Chickpea & Daal Balti Pie was our commitment to expanding our range and making it more inclusive.
Another key inspiration was our desire to encourage more people to explore and enjoy vegan products. Plant-based eating isn’t just about following a trend – it’s about embracing meals that are better for the environment and still incredibly flavourful and satisfying.
‘‘What makes this pie stand out from the crowd?’’
The Vegan Chickpea & Daal Balti Pie stands out because it delivers an unbeatable combination of bold, vibrant flavours and exceptional quality.
What truly sets this pie apart is how far we’ve come in perfecting our vegan pastry. Both the shortcrust base and puff pastry lid are light, flaky, and golden – so good that even non-vegans will be impressed. It’s proof that plant-based doesn’t mean compromising on texture or taste.
The care and attention that go into making each pie really shine through.
‘‘What was your biggest challenge when creating a vegan pie?’’
Our biggest challenge was ensuring that our vegan pie could stand proudly alongside our non-vegan options in terms of taste, texture, and overall quality.
We’re lucky to have an incredibly talented team of bakers who embraced the challenge with passion and dedication. Their skill and commitment to excellence shine through in every pie we make. From perfecting the pastry to nailing the complex, aromatic flavours of our Balti filling, our team worked tirelessly to ensure that this vegan pie meets – and exceeds – expectations.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
