[chinky 31]

Ingredients:

(375 g) macaroni pasta

2 large onions, finelY chopped

1/4 cup ghee

(500 g) ground meat

2 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon mixed spices

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon vinegar

4 tablespoons tomato paste

1 cup tomato juice 1/2 cup water

3 eggs (optional)

1/2 cup grated cheese

Method:

Cook the macaroni in boiling salted water until tender.

Drain, rinse in cold water, drain again and set aside.

Saute the onions in the ghee, add the meat and cook until brown all over approximately 10 minutes.

Add the salt, pepper, mixed spices and cinnamon, then stir in the vinegar, tomato paste, tomato juice or soup and the water.

Cover and simmer gently until meat is tender 30 to 35 minutes.

Spread half the cooked macaroni in an even layer over the bottom of a casserole dish.

Pour the meat mixture evenly over it, then cover in an even layer with the remaining macaroni.

Beat the eggs and pour over the top of the macaroni, allowing it to seep through the entire mixture.

Bake in a moderately hot oven, 400°F (200°C), for 40 minutes.

Remove from oven and while still hot, sprinkle with grated cheese.

Serve warm.

lovely recipe, kind of reminds me of lasagnia.

i would suggest,

add the cinamon after the cooking

and as a variation replace the egg topping with cheddar cheese n mozarella cheese 1:1 mixture.
