Bhavan Pie????

Bhavan Pie recipe

Apparently a Bhavan is a humble dwelling in India. So Cottage Pie with a twist of Indian spices must be a Bhavan Pie I’m guessing?

Our basic Cottage Pie recipe is here.

The addition to the mince mix are as follows:-

Ingredients:-

Cumin seeds, dry toasted
Garam Masala
Tomato Puree
Turmeric
Grated fresh Ginger
2 cloves of Garlic, grated
Cumin
Paprika
Oil

Method:-

(1) Dry toast the Cumin seeds in a frying pan.
(2) Add the other ingredients above and bring to a simmer.
(3) Continue with the general Cottage Pie recipe here.

The mince for this creation came in the “Student Survival Pack” we won from Swain Family Butchers. As we are happily tagging them in our recipes we thought we’d try something a bit different on the Cottage Pie theme and this really worked well.

Swineherd Pie recipeYou've heard of Cottage Pie and Shepherds Pie? Well our take on it is Swineherd Pie, mainly because minced Pork is generally cheaper....
 
Ingredients:-
 
500g of minced Pork
2 large Onions, finely chopped
Soy Sauce (GF if required)
2 Carrots, finely chopped
Potatoes, boiled and mashed
Gravy Granules (Bisto Best are GF)
Cheese, grated to top
Vegetables of your choice
 
Method:-
 
(1) Heat a little oil in a large pan. Add the pork and fry to brown all over, stirring to break up any large chunks. Set aside.
(2) Add a splash more oil to the pan, Carrot and Onion and fry until the Onion is softened.
(3) Mix the Gravy Granules with boiling water to make sufficient to moisten the mince in a casserole dish.
(4) Preheat the oven to 180c.
(5) Add the mince to the Onions and Carrot and stir in the gravy and a good dash of Soy Sauce.
(6) Transfer to a large casserole dish and add the mashed Potato to the top to cover.
(7) Place the casserole in the oven uncovered for 30 minutes or until the Potato has a golden brown top.
(8) Sprinkle with grated Cheese and place back in the oven until the Cheese has melted and crisped a little.
