1 slice of white bread, crusts removed
300 ml (1/2 pint) milk
30 g (1 oz) butter
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 kg (2 lb) minced beef
1 tbsp medium-hot curry powder

90 g (3 oz) blanched almonds, coarsely chopped
2 tbsp fruit chutney
1 tbsp lemon juice
Salt and black pepper
2 eggs
30 g (1 oz) flaked almonds
Method:
Put the bread into a shallow dish. Sprinkle over 2 tbsp of the milk and leave to soak for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large frying pan, add the onion and garlic, and cook gently, stirring occasionally, for a few minutes until soft.
Increase the heat, add the beef, and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until browned. Spoon of any excess fat.
