Recipe
Serves 4-6
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease one large casserole dish or several small dishes for individual helpings.
Heat the oil and fry the onion until soft. Stir in the curry powder, salt, borrie, and vinegar. Add the mince and stir lightly with a two-pronged fork until mixed. Then stir well to loosen.
Add the apricot jam and tomato. Stir in the breadcrumbs and chutney and mix well. Beat the eggs and milk and add half to the meat mixture. Spoon the meat into the prepared dish(es). Pour the remaining egg and milk mixture on top. Bake until the egg and milk mixture has set, 30-45 minutes.
