Instructions: 1 Cook the potatoes in a large pan of boiling, salted water for 8-10 minutes until tender.

2 Heat 1 tbsp sunflower oil in a large saute pan. Dice the onion and cook in the pan with the mince for a couple of minutes until beginning to brown.

3 Stir in the curry paste, ketchup, stock, garlic puree and soy sauce.

Bring to the boil and simmer rapidly for 3-4 minutes.

4 Drain the potatoes well and return to the pan. Mash well and beat in the butter and milk until smooth and creamy; season to taste.

5 Slate the cornflour with a little water and stir into the pan with the mixed vegetables and chopped tomatoes.

6 Bring back to the boil, stirring until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

7 Spoon the mince mix into a heatproof pie dish and spoon over the mashed potato. Using a fork, mark a criss-cross pattern on the top.

8 Scatter over the cheese and place under a medium grill for a couple of minutes until the cheese melts and the pie is speckled with brown. Heat the oils in a wok and stir-fry the kale on a very high heat for 1-2 minutes.

9 Toss in the sesame seeds and soy sauce. Spoon the pie onto plates and add the kale, and serve.

Variation: Spiced-mince pasta bake: toss with cooked pasta spirals, scatter over the diced mozzarella and bake for 15 minutes or so until warmed through, bubbling and golden brown

Tip: Use frozen vegetables. Use other vegetables to make the topping such as parsnips or swede.
