Really tasty recipe with a subtle warmth behind the spicing.

Perfect blend of spices giving this English classic an exciting twist. A little longer recipe to cook but worth the effort.

Excellent. Flavoursome filling, nice pastry and the jeera blend sprinkling on the top finishes it beautifully. Will make again

Has become a favourite in our house! I've made it many ways....with ground lamb, with chicken thighs, with chicken breast, totally vegan....and it's been a hit each and every time !

Best thing I've ever eaten. Also added some of the haldi blend to the mash and topped it off with some mango chutney, worked a treat!
