Take this traditional British dish and transform it Indian-style! Featuring beef, mashed potatoes, and lots of Indian spices.

Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 55 minutes
Yield: 10-12

Preheat oven to 350ºF.
Place a large pot over medium-low heat. Add leftover potatoes and water and stir with a wooden spoon until the potatoes begin to soften and get hot, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the butter, ajwain, milk, yogurt and salt and stir well until the mixture is smooth. Set aside.
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add oil. When it is hot, add onion, garlic and ginger and cook until onion is soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add celery and stir and then add the spices and cook for about 30 seconds. Stir in the ground beef, stir and let it cook through, about 5 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and water and then stir in the cooked lentils and let simmer for 5 minutes. Pour into a 9” by 13” baking dish and sprinkle with the mozzarella. Spread the mashed potatoes evenly over the top and sprinkle with paprika. Bake for 30 minutes, until it is bubbling and hot.
