Bobotie

I have never been a lover of bobotie however my hubby asked me to make some and I found this recipe on the Robertson's site and I am now converted!
Edit - Robertsons seem to have updated the recipe with another one, this one is from 20 Aug 2012

Ingredients
30 ml Sunflower Oil
2 Onions , peeled and sliced
15 ml Rajah Medium Curry Powder
600 g Lean Beef Mince
1 slice thick white bread
250 ml Milk
1/2 packet Knorr Mild Durban Curry
100ml Water
22.5 ml Sugar
2 ml Robertsons Black Pepper
3.75 ml Robertsons Turmeric
22.5 ml White or Malt vinegar
125 ml Seedless Raisins
30 ml Mrs Balls Hot or Mild Chutney
2 Robertsons Bay Leaves
2 Medium Eggs

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 180°C
2. Heat oil in a medium sauté pan. Stir in the onions. Cook over a medium heat until
transparent.
3. Add the Rajah Curry Powder and fry then add the beef mince.
4. Cook until lightly browned and crumbly.
5. Soak the slice of white bread in the milk and carefully squeeze out the milk from the
bread. Do not discard the milk as it will be used for the custard topping.
6. Mash the soggy bread with a fork then add it to the beef mince together with the sugar,
pepper, turmeric, vinegar and chutney.
(Mix Durban curry with the water and add to the meat mixture)
7. Stir well to combine and allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
8. Spoon the mixture into a greased baking dish and insert the bay leaves on top.
9. Bake for 20 minutes in the oven in order to dry out the mince.
10. In the mean time beat the eggs with the remaining milk. When the mince mixture is ready
pour the egg over the mince and return to oven for a further 20 -25 minutes and allow to
bake until the topping has set and is golden brown.
11. Serve with steamed rice (traditionally yellow!) and extra chutney.
