Soak the bread crumb in half of the milk.
Soften the onions and garlic in the oil for 6 minutes.
Add the curry powder and fry for 1 minute.
Add the minced beef and brown it for 10 minutes, breaking it into loose grains.
Stir the soaked bread, apricots, raisins, almonds, salt, and black pepper into the beef.
Spread the mixture in a baking dish.
Whisk the eggs with the remaining milk, pour over the top, and place the bay leaves on it.
Bake the dish at 180°C for 28 minutes, until the topping sets.
💡 Tip: Briefly fry the curry powder with the onion before adding the beef; the raw flavor of the spice may not fully disappear in the oven.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Slice from the baking dish and serve with yellow rice, pickled cucumber, and chutney if desired.
