How to Make Indian Shepherd S Pie
- Peel and boil 1 kg potatoes until tender.
- While potatoes boil, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large pan. Add 500g lamb mince, 1 tbsp grated ginger, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Brown the lamb thoroughly.
- Stir in 1 tbsp garam masala and cook for 2 minutes. Set aside.
- In a bowl, combine the cooked lamb with 2 chopped spring onions, 1-2 finely chopped green chilies (adjust to taste), 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, and the juice of 1 lime. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Transfer the lamb mixture to a deep pie dish or casserole dish. Top with 1 can (400g) chopped tomatoes.
- Once potatoes are cooked, mash them with 50g butter, 100ml double cream, and 50ml milk. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Spread the mashed potato mixture evenly over the lamb and tomatoes. Mark the top with a fork.
- Melt the remaining 25g butter and brush it over the potatoes. Sprinkle with 1 tsp paprika.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Freezes well!
