Shepherd's Pie, except its Irish Indian fusion
For more great Instant Pot recipes, please visit InstantPotEasy.com
A classic shepherd’s pie has two components; a lamb meat base and a mashed potato top. Two dishes from Indian cuisine inspired this version; aloo masala …
My mother makes something very similar with keema and aloo masala or dum aloo. Because she thinks Shepard's pie lacks spice. Your addition of cheese is something I will definitely try!
Man suggests making shepherd pie, loves it.
Thank you for showing your mis en place prep work <3
Dude that’s so much Worcestershire sauce..
Ethan, this looks great. I've made your make ahead carnitas like 3 times this month and I've been having it in a shawarma type bowl with rice and veggies(including pickled cabbage and onions). Fantastic. I cant wait to try this as well.
Knife?
As a Pakistani myself, I'm really loving your recent videos- your karahai looked quite professional
Ethan the kinda chef to solve world conflict using fusion dishes
Hey Ethan! My mom has that same spatula, but I have no idea what brand it is and she doesn't remember, been trying to get one for my kitchen.
That is piping the potatoes. You are not using a pipette. And christ could you possibly use any more Worcestershire sauce?
Aloo masala confirmed
Ethan officially you are an Indian cook , also please search Abhijit Iyer Mitra's discussion on food and spices .
Brilliant . I will call this a Gaḍḍarikā Pie. An Indian name for Shepherd's pie . I would use paneer rather than Lamb because many in my family are vegetarians .
Did anyone else notice the hair in the spoonful at 5:28 haha! Will definitely try this recipe soon!
For the Keema adaptaptation I highly recommend adding some tomato paste to the meat when it's about halfway to browned.
Have you tried mash potato with sour cream?
Looks great! Do you think it will work well with lentils as a vegetarian option, or what kind of substitute?
Idk if it's been mentioned but aloo is pronounced with emphasis on the A – so like "Ah-loo"
I cranked out a big batch of this tonight to portion into the freezer. It's pretty great. I felt the keema was mssing a bit of zip so I added anardana (amchur would be good too), and mixed a bunch of chopped cilantro through the aloo. Nice work.
use paneer instead of lamb I think it will work well too and will become vegetarian.
Sorry to steal your thunder but my mum has been making Keema Shepherds pie for years! She also makes a mean Butter Chicken pie too!
Yeah, I made this bad boy a few weeks ago. Found a recipe for "Masala Shepherd's Pie" online and ran with it. It was DELICIOUS.
I love this. However, the first thing that came to mind was someone is going to get a mouthful of clove
I once did a Guinness turkey shepherds pie with baileys sweet potato top as a spin on Thanksgiving. That was surprisingly delicious!
Nice video.
It's pronounced like "aaaa-looo".
Turmeric Fingers! 😂😂
Why so sparsely viewed? This is a great spin on the classic
Appreciate the love you're giving indiana cuisine. Not a lot of youtubers go beyond butter chicken or chicken tikka masala.
I was taught on a cooking course while living in Singapore to first, fry the onions till light golden in veg oil, then add garlic/ginger paste cook for 1 minute [add finely chopped green chillis here for spice if desired], add tomatoes [i use passata] on the course fine chopped fresh tomatoes, cook at a low medium heat for 5 minutes, it is at this point you add your curry powder of choice [i use medium madras because that is what my family like] till the oil starts to appear on the surface of the gravy, then your protein of choice, on the course it was brined cubed chicken thigh. From this base we where taught different regional variations. The instructor told us the order that the curry base is prepared makes a differance as does the freshness of the curry powder. Never considered adding something like mushroom stock, normally i use knorr chicken powder to make a stock, i'll have to give that a try in a test batch and see what it is like. I find the base gravy freezes well, so make a large batch at one time, ideal for quick meals using up leftovers. Thanks you for the video and the mushroom stock idea, but wow how much worcestershire sauce, Take care and God bless one and all.
Love the times at the bottom. Nice touch!
Hey Ethan! Quick question, where’d you buy your bench scraper? Thanks a bunch, love your videos.
5:27 hair on spoon left side next to pea
Issue is 90% of these ingredients aren’t at any stores near me.
Why can't we boil the potatoes and then peel and cut them? Isn't that much easier?
<3<3<3
I remember your videos from like a year ago w people saying you're gonna be big and now you're at half a mill subs! 😀
New to this channel but I really dig that you take a second to show a basic post prep cleanup. It adds a refreshing pace and also just nice seeing someone without a behind the scenes cleaning crew. Recipe looks killer. I did something similar once but with cuban Picadillo and empanadas. Cubans always save left over Picadillo for empanadas, lots of curry potential!
I'm not Indian or Irish yet I've been doing this for years.
I'm not Italian either (so don't come for me Italians) but I do this to my lasagna as well and its delicious
This is one of your best recipes so far Ethan, congratulations on it! This was divine to watch and I am definitely buying the cast Iron for this
Shepherds pie is English, not Irish
I like the little shot of your process of cutting the potato into chunks
Can we just get a full video of Ethan petting crispy things with forks
imagine instead of pickled onions you used a chutney!!! would be so on theme and tasty!
Did those acidic ingredients not strip your cast iron's seasoning?
You must really love your box grater, huh? That thing terrifies me, so cut and squish it is for me instead. This recipe looks awesome btw!
I'm going to try to figure it out from watching your kheema video again but what I'd REALLY like to see is making the aloo gobi on night 1, the kheema on night 2, and then the shepards pie from the leftovers on night 3. This would be such a great way to have a week's worth of meals by planning this out.
I don't understand how people grate onions without dying. Lol. My eyes can not take it. 😭
