Beef Pie

This recipe is a very old one. My Jenny fuimaa from London had cooked it for us and from that time it has been our favourite. My nieces have a standing order for this pie when they pack food to take back to their universities. Ingredients:

1. 1 lb sirloin beef cut into small pieces
2. 1 small onion diced
3. 1 small tomato diced
4. 1/4 green pepper diced
5. 1/4 cup yogurt
6. 1 tsp garlic
7. 1 tsp ginger
8. 1 tbsp tomato paste
9. Pinch of tumeric
10. Red Chilli Powder to taste
11. Salt to taste
12. 1/2 cup water
13. Spaghetti (1/4 bag), broken into 1/4s, boiled in salt water
14. Bag of chips/crisps (Lays, Miss Vickies, Sticks, any regular flavoured chips will do) crushed
15. Ketchup as garnish

Method:

• Put together ingredients from 1 - 11 in pressure cooker or in a pot with 1/2 cup water. Cook until done. Should not be watery or too dry - just moist.
• Cook spaghetti in salt water until done.
• Layer dish first with cooked meat mixture, then cooked spaghetti and crushed chips/crisps on top. Then again with meat mixture, spaghetti and the crushed chips/crisps.
• Decorate it by squeezing ketchup in a swirl or zigzag on top of the chips/crisps.

Enjoy.
