  A great meal to incorporate veg into chilrens diet. When children are to eat it, easier to make in one large dish.

  Hi, It's a fantastic recipie, I made it for lunch for a group of friends and they love it. But I have to say I added cumin seeds to the meat sauce and for the top I used only parsnips and red chilli instead the green one and I layered the top with a mix of mild cheddar and brown breadcrumbs and grilled it. It was very easy to prepare and I made it the evening before using a big dish. Thank you so much for such a good recipes

  A touch less lemon in the mash and this is one of my favourite recipes. Always goes down a storm.

  Really enjoyed this. I used half a lemon. Would have liked more topping so next time will add a few more parsnips/potato. Very easy to make.

  Very easy to make, and delicious! I used a dash of lemon concentrate in the mash (so it does not overpower the parsnip/potato). Freezes well too!

  I tried this recipe, but found the meat a bit bland, so added in some worcester sauce for extra bite, lovely, will make it again.

  Made this for 9 people for sunday lunch which was very well accepted. The mash is delicious. Even did a veggie version which was just as delicious. I added a few more veg to the meat sauce too.

  Really enjoyed this! Only added a dash of lemon to the mash as per the previous advice, red chilli instead of green and no coriander available and was still tasty. Also did not have any frozen peas so used mixed veg instead. Found that the meat was really flavoursome but perhaps a little dry so served with some chicken gravy that complemented rather than overpowered the spicy flavours. WIll make again.

  I loved this meal. Easy to prepare (I made the meat part earlier in the day and then in the evening just added the potato and baked). I forgot to add the peas, though it didnt matter of course. I didnt add the lemon either, based on reading some of the reviews. Will definately make again soon. I served with steamed carrots and fine beans.
