Method
This recipe came about because I had leftover cauliflower and cheese from Sunday’s Lunch.
I braised the onion in some oil.
Added the seeds, bay leaf, cinnamon stick, and garlic.
Added the turmeric and curry powder and stirred a minute.
Added the mince and stirred with a fork and a splash of boiling water to break up the clumps.
Stir until meat changes color.
Add spices and herbs, tomato paste and bay leaf.
And stock and simmer for 10 minutes.
Add frozen vegetables and simmer till cooked through.
Add gravy granules and simmer until cooked through and thickened.
Boil cauliflower floret in 3 cups stock water until tender.
Drain thoroughly.
Add to cheese sauce and mash.
Add layer mashed potato to a greased casserole dish, and shepherd’s pie with a slotted spoon.
Add remaining mashed potato to mashed cauliflower and cheese, and spread on top.
Sprinkle with extra cheese and bake until cheese melted and bubbly but not crisp.
