I just used the idea tweaked to our taste in spicing and it was pretty good. I used organic white potatoes and mashed them with some organic cultured unsalted butter and additional potato water to make them creamy and added grey sea salt, a perfect salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste, regular halal ground beef, spiced up with garlic powder and baharat Middle Eastern spice mix, & same salt. An organic onion but I suggest adding it first and cooking a little before adding the ground beef to the pan as it doesn't cook as well in the way indicated, less organic tomato paste as I used what I had on hand, organic unhomoginised yogurt (just a thin layer), and a salty Arabic cheese with onion seeds which is delicious. We ate this with corn free ketchup and a fresh salad.

This was very quick and easy to put together. It had a good taste; I used sour cream instead of the yogurt. The only thing I didn't like about it is that the potatoes were a little mushy. Could have been my fault as I sliced them with the food processor rather than by hand so they were probably too thin. But didn't affect the flavor! Made for Everday is a Holiday Tag November 2009.
