Shephard's Pie


Its easy to make, you can use ground beef, lamb or mutton. And loads of veggies goes well with it, like corns/broccoli/beans/carrot/tomato/cauliflower almost anything. Easy to make and with a slice of bread and some salad its a heavy meal.
Ingredient:
250gms of mutton keema.
1 onion chopped.
1 tomato chopped
6-7 cloves of garlic. chopped
Mix of vegetable like corns, peas, broccoli, carrot, cauliflower, beans. Take any number of them, more the merrier, chop them into small parts. Total amount of vegetable should be about same or slightly more than the keema.
3-4 boiled potato.
2 tbs of milk
2 tbs of butter/oil
1 tbs of soy sauce
1 tbs of tomato sauce
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Put 1 Tbs of oil/butter in pan and melt it (don't put too much oil and mutton is very oil meat so it will increase the fat content of the food anyway). Fry the garlics first, just till it starts giving out its aroma, now put in the onion. You can add tsp of sugar on it, gives the onion a nice red hue. When the onion starts getting transparent, add the tomato. Fry of a little while and then add the mutton. Now simmer down the heat and fry in low heat for 5 minutes. Add all the veggies next, and the sauces, salt and pepper. Again cover and fry in low heat for another 5-8 minutes.
Take out the cover and increase the heat till the mix becomes dry.
Meanwhile peel the boiled potatoes, put them in grinder with the milk and 1/2 tbs of butter, pinch of salt and make a smooth paste.
User the rest of the butter to grease a microwave proof baking dish. Pour in the mutton mix and cover the mix with mashed potato. Pre-heat your oven/microwave to 250 C and put in the dish for 15-20 mins or till the cover turns golden brown. And voila your own pie is ready :)
