375 ml milk
25 ml oil
2 sliced onions
2 crushed garlic cloves
1 1/2 tbsp curry powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp fruit chutney (Mrs Balls Original chutney is THE best but if you can't find it, don't stress)
1 tbsp smooth apricot jam
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp turmeric
1 1/2 tbsp brown vinegar
6 tbsp sultanas ((don’t replace with raisins – they are too sweet; sultanas are much better for this recipe))

bay leaves

Warm a large, wide casserole pot over a medium heat and, and add oil and butter and fry the garlic and onions until the onions are soft.
Then add curry powder, salt, chutney, jam, Worcestershire sauce, turmeric and vinegar and mix well together.
Drain the milk from your soaked bread (keep the drained milk) and mash the bread. Then add the bread to pan together with mince and sultanas.
Cook over low heat, stirring, until the meat is cooked, then remove it from stove. Now add 1 beaten egg and mix everything together well. Lastly, spoon into a greased baking dish, approx 28 x 16 cm baking dish to the top.
Beat the remaining 2 eggs with the leftover drained milk (hopefully around 300 ml, or a little more).Pour over meat mixture and put a few bay leaves on top.

Michelle Rolfe on 2019-11-17 (5 stars): I've never tried this dish, but I do love the sound of it. And I'm always keen to read a good story as to how recipes came about and the fight over who can claim them! :-) Sounds like my house on a standard weekend but with teenage girls and far too much makeup and hairspray!:-) Thanks for sharing with #CookBlogShare.
