Method:

Oven temperature: 180°C

1. Place the butter and oil in a saucepan over
a medium temperature and stir-fry the onions,
garlic and ginger until soft and glossy. Increase
the temperature and add the mince, chilli,
turmeric, coriander and cumin. Stir-fry the
mince with a large fork until it becomes loose
and crumbly and starts to brown. Stir in the
tomato, tomato paste, tamarind paste and stock
and season with salt and black pepper. Simmer
for about 30 minutes or until the mixture
thickens but is still moist. Stir in the coriander
leaves. Preheat the oven.

2. Prepare the potato layer: Boil the potato in
salted water until soft, drain and mash. Add the
butter, milk, salt and nutmeg and mash with a
potato masher.

3. To assemble: Place the mince in a greased
oven dish. Place spoonfuls of potato on top and
spread this with a fork. Brush the potato layer
with the melted butter and bake in a preheated
oven for 45 minutes until golden brown. Serve.
