Method
- Soak the bread slices in 150ml of the milk for 5 mins

- Return the onion mixture to the pan and stir in the chutney, sultanas and stock
- Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 5 mins, until beginning to reduce and thicken
- Stir through the soaked bread and season
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/Gas 4
- Spoon the mince mixture into an ovenproof dish, smooth over the top and leave to cool for 10 mins
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, remaining milk and half the turmeric, season, then pour on top of the mince
- Bake for 20-25 mins, or until the topping is golden and set
- Meanwhile, cook the rice according to the pack
- Heat the rest of the oil in a small frying pan
