Ingredients

2 onions, thickly sliced
3 cups water, or as needed
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 slice white bread
1 cup milk
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 tablespoon curry powder
2 eggs
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon turmeric (optional)
2 tablespoons vinegar
3 tablespoons chutney
6 almonds
1/2 cup raisins
4 bay leaves

Directions

1

Heat water in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil and add the onion slices. Reduce heat and simmer until the onions appear translucent, 3 to five minutes. Remove the onions and finely chop them.
2

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has browned slightly.
3

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 7x11-inch baking dish.
4

Soak the slice of bread in the milk and gently squeeze out the milk; set the milk aside. Crumb the bread into a large mixing bowl. Mix bread together with ground beef, curry powder, 1 egg, sugar, salt, black pepper, turmeric, vinegar, chutney, almonds and raisins.
5

Place the mixture the prepared baking dish. Insert the bay leaves into the meat. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
6

Beat the remaining egg with 3 tablespoons of the drained milk. Pour over the meat and bake for another 30 minutes.
