My Vegetarian Shepheard’s Pie is as good as the
original. Nuterla soya granules and vegetables, spiced with meat masala, topped
with spinach and chilli mashed potatoes. If you are not in India, you can
substitute the soya granules for 2 cups of frozen soya mince and omit the steps
2.3 & 4.
For meat eaters: use 2 cups of fresh mince beef or
minced chicken.
