Instructions

Step 1

Pre-heat oven to gas mark 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Bring a large pan of salted water to a boil, add the potatoes and cook for 15 mins until soft.

Step 2

Whilst your potatoes cook, add 2 tbsp olive oil to a large, non-stick pan over a medium heat and add your garlic and onion. Fry for 3 mins until fragrant and translucent before adding the ginger paste and chilli and frying for a further minute.

Step 3

Add your mince to the pan and fry for 5 mins, moving about until it starts to crisp up. Add your curry powder, cumin and garam masala and stir to combine

Step 4

Add your chopped tomatoes, peas and green beans and stir before bringing to a simmer and leaving for 5-10 mins.

Step 5

Whilst simmering, drain your softened potatoes and add to a large mixing bowl along with all mash ingredients plus seasoning. Use a potato masher to mash together until smooth (add a little more Cravendale if you need to loosen slightly).

Step 6

Now to assemble! Ladle your filling into an ovenproof dish, spoon over your turmeric mash, season with salt and pepper and pop in the oven for 15 mins until the mash becomes golden.
