1 large onion - finely chopped
4 cloves garlic - minced
1 inch ginger - grated- 2 tablespoons Rogan Josh spice mix - Available in specialty spice shops
2 tablespoons tomato paste- 400 grams canned tomatoes - diced
- 1 cup lamb stock - or substitute with beef stock
1 cup peas - fresh, or frozen

1 pinch ground black pepper - to taste
Potato Topping
1 kilogram potatoes - peeled and cubed
50 grams butter - unsalted- 50 milliliters whole milk
1 medium egg yolk- 1 pinch salt - to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground lamb. Cook until browned, about 8-10 minutes.
- Add the onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Sauté until the onion turns translucent, emitting a rich aroma, roughly 5 minutes.
- Stir in the Rogan Josh spice mix and tomato paste, cooking for an additional 2 minutes to deepen the flavors.
- Pour in the canned tomatoes and lamb stock, stirring to combine.
- Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes until the sauce thickens. In the last 5 minutes, stir in the peas. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, prepare the potato topping. Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain and mash the potatoes with butter, milk, and egg yolk until smooth. Season with salt.
- Transfer the lamb filling to a casserole dish. Spoon the mashed potatoes on top, smoothing with a spatula.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the topping is golden and crisp.
Notes
For a richer flavor, let the lamb mixture sit overnight to meld the spices. Consider replacing lamb with beef if preferred, or use mashed cauliflower as a topping for a low-carb alternative.
