Indian-Style Lean Beef Shepherd's Pie With Mustardy Greens

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7

Boil a kettle

Peel and chop your potatoes into rough, bite-sized pieces

Add the chopped potatoes to a pot of boiling water with a pinch of salt over a high heat and cook for 12-15 min or until fork-tender

Once cooked, drain and return them to the pot

While the potatoes are cooking, reboil half a kettle

Peel and finely chop your red onion[s] and carrot[s]

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a high heat

Once hot, add the chopped onion, carrot and garlic with a pinch of salt and cook for 3-5 min or until starting to soften

While the vegetables are cooking, dissolve your chicken stock mix in 250ml [325ml] [400ml] boiled water – this is your chicken stock

Once the onions have softened, add your ground cumin, tomato paste, chilli flakes (can't handle the heat? Go easy!) and mince and cook for 4-5 min further, breaking the mince up with a wooden spoon as you go

While the mince is cooking, add your ground turmeric to the drained potatoes with a splash of milk and a knob of butter

Mash until smooth then season generously with salt – this is your turmeric mash

Once the vegetables have softened, add the chicken stock and garam masala to the pan and cook for 6-7 min further, or until the sauce has thickened to a gravy-like consistency and the mince is cooked through (no pink meat!) – this is your Indian-style mince filling

Wash your spring greens then pat it dry with kitchen paper

Rip the leaves off the spring greens, discard the tough stalks, then layer the leaves over each other, roll them up and slice into thin strips

Spoon the Indian-style mince filling into an oven-proof dish (reserve the pan for later!)

Top evenly with the turmeric mash, add a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle over your toasted sesame seeds

Tip: Gently run a fork over the mash to create a crispy top!

Put the dish in the oven for 15-20 min or until golden and crispy – this is your Indian-style shepherd's pie

Once the Indian-style shepherd's pie is almost done, wipe the pan clean with kitchen paper and return to a medium heat with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat

Once hot, add your black mustard seeds and once you begin to hear them sizzle, add the sliced spring greens with a pinch of salt and cook for 3-4 min or until wilted

Once wilted, cover and set aside until serving – these are your mustardy greens
