    It had started to get chilly so I decided to bake Shepherd's Pie for dinner. Traditional pie has a lamb/beef base but it is a little challenging to get either easily in India. Also, my in-laws like other Hindus would rather not have beef in the house so I decided to use goat mince instead. Also, there were few plumps in the refrigerator so I thought to give a twist to the original recipe and add some healthy plumps, grapes and veggies to the dish. In addition, I also made certain other variations and it all worked out beautifully! Give it a try!
