I did and it’s very good. Personally, I prefer to put a layer of meat between two layers of mashed potatoes and curry instead of cumin and between small diced carrots (tastes good). A chef’s tip :add some veal stock if you don’t have it, don’t panic! Don’t put it, it’s there to bring more substance, flavor and consistency, but it works without it.
