1

Preheat Oven to 180°C & Prep the ingredients as required (Dice Onions, Mince Garlic & Chop Almonds)

2

Measure out the 300g Milk in a bowl and press the slices of white bread into the milk to soak.

3

Preheat a large saucepan, add the olive oil and soften the diced onion. Add the beef mince and minced garlic, break apart and continue to cook until browned.

4

Add 3tsp of mild curry powder, salt and pepper. Stir through to combine.

5

In a large casserole dish, combine the cooked mince, sultanas, chopped almonds and chutney. Using clean hands, squeeze as much of the milk from the bread as you can and add the softened bread in small chunks to the mince mixture (reserving the milk in the bowl for the topping).

6

Using a sturdy spatula, thoroughly mix the bread into the meat mixture to bind everything together. Press the mixture down firmly into the casserole dish to create a smooth, even surface.

Break the 3 eggs into the bowl with the milk, season with salt & pepper and whisk until well combined. Pour this topping mixture over the mince base and top with the 3 bay leaves.

Place the casserole dish into the oven and turn the temperature down to 160°C. Bake for approx 45mins & Serve with fluffy Basmati Rice.
