The dish begins with a savoury filling made from minced lamb. The Spice Tailor Rustic Rogan Josh adds depth and warmth to the meat mixture.

This hearty filling is then topped with a layer of creamy mashed potatoes, infused with butter and whole milk.

After baking, the top becomes tinged with some brown tips, while the spiced meat below remains tender and aromatic. Perfect for cool nights, this dish is a delicious fusion of classic and spicy flavours.

How To Make Spiced Shepherd’s Pie.

Ingredients:

• 1 tsp. vegetable oil
• 375g minced lamb
• The Spice Tailor Rustic Rogan Josh
• ½ beef stock gel or cube
• 2 handfuls of frozen peas
• 2 medium baking potatoes (650g), cut into cubes (skin on) and well cleaned
• 90-100ml whole milk
• 50g butter
• Salt and black pepper to taste

How To Make Spiced Shepherd’s Pie:

Method:

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until soft (around 25 minutes).
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan or oven proof dish. Add your lamb and brown a little. Add the 2 sauces from the packet and beef stock and bring to a simmer. Cook, covered until the lamb is soft, around 20-25 minutes. Give the pot an occasional stir and check that the pan is not too dry. If so, add a little water in. Add the peas a couple of minutes before taking off the heat.
3. Once the potatoes are cooked, drain, quickly take off the skin and place back in the pan to cook off excess water. Add the milk, butter and seasoning in and mash well as the milk comes to a boil.
4. Meanwhile, take the spices out of the packet and grind to a powder in a good pestle and mortar. The chilli is harder to grind and will remain coarse. Stir into the lamb.
5. When you are ready to eat, place the lamb in a smallish deep baking tray and level out. Place the potatoes on top and level again. You can make it prettier if you are in the mood, I like to quickly swirl the potato with a fork. Place in an oven preheated to 190C and cook until tinged with some brown tips. Serve hot.

Over to Anjum; I started learning how to cook authentic Indian food at a young age from my mother and her sisters and learnt much more than how to follow a recipe. There are so many different techniques for cooking an individual ingredient and even when cooking the same dish time and time again, the flavours can vary.

Griddled Chopped Chicken Salad:

Secondly, Griddled Chopped Chicken Salad By Anjum Anand. Anjum says: “Chaat” is a term used for a whole genre of streetfood which is hard to describe in one sentence, but one part of it encompasses a lot of simple vegetables and fruits tossed in some tangy and spiced lemon based dressings with a blend of spices that are known as chaat masala.

“Chaat” literally means to lick, as in finger-licking good… and they generally are.

Thirdly, Four Seed-Spiced Okra With Tomatoes By Anjum Anand. Anjum Says: I love okra – it is such a great vegetable, not too watery, not too starchy, not too metallic and really good for you.

I have never found it “gluey” when cooked properly, despite its unfair reputation. There are so many ways to cook it, but I do love it in this aachari bhindi, and it is really easy to cook.

Chilled Mango, Coconut And “Pearl” Puddings:

Fourthly, Chilled Mango, Coconut And “Pearl” Puddings By Anjum Anand. Anjum Says: “Like everyone, I have friends who prefer to avoid gluten and dairy and when they come round I need to have a special think about what to serve them.

This is one of the desserts I will go to when mangoes are in season; easy, tasty and lovely after an Indian or spicy Asian meal.

It is based on a popular Chinese dessert we see a lot in India – simply a light mango cream with lovely gelatinous tapioca pearls, mango and freshly grated coconut. This recipe proves again that, if you have good-quality, inherently tasty ingredients, you don’t need a lot more to make a fabulous dish.

This is one of my summer favourites, really refreshing. It thickens overnight, so you may want to thin it with a bit of milk (and then taste for sweetness) before serving.
