That sounds good, meganjane.  Although this recipe tastes great with any chutney - even the weird and wonderful ones  ;D (and believe me, I make some weird and wonderful ones!)

Farfallina, here's another recipe you could try to use some more of your chutney  ;) ;)

Yummy!

Yum, always a good combo - like in ploughman's lunch.

Just to say this is a favourite in our house, and a great one to hide vegies in for the kids :D

I ran out of time when making this, so instead of making the mashed potato, I simply layered puff pastry on top of the mince mixture and browned it off in the oven. Very nice, enjoyed by the whole family, and lots and lots of veggies smuggled in at the beginning too! Thanks  :)

I was searching all over for this and couldn't find it. I should have born in mind when searching that I'm obsessive about possessive apostrophes when I'm not on the iPad LOL.

I'm going to make a double batch in the slow cooker using tmx to grate veggies, then experiment with different toppings when I split it into pies. I thought I'd do one with sweet potato, and one with carrot and swede mash. I'll let you know what they're like - or whether it's better to stick with the traditional potato.

UPDATE:  all the variations were very nice, but our favourite is the usual potato

We'll look forward to your report on the different toppings Caroline.

We're all doing very well, thanks Cookie. But very busy!  I didn't realise how long it was since I'd visited you all until I logged on yesterday. I like the new look of the forum, by the way - but it probably hasn't been 'new' for a long time  ;D

I made this for dinner tonight. I didn't have any gravy granules (and don't really know what they are) so I used cornflour instead. My family really liked this and Ll went back for seconds. Personally, I found it a little sweet, but once I'd smothered it in chilli sauce,  I enjoyed it too

It looks great Sue, I wonder what makes it sweet.  Must try this one out sometime this coming winter.

It's never seemed sweet to me - perhaps it's a different personal taste thing, or a different type of chutney. But I'm wondering as I type this whether I've typoed too large an amount of chutney in the recipe???  I'll go and double check now!

UPDATE:  no, the quantities look ok.  I use a level tablespoon when I make it. Must be a personal taste or type of chutney thing. I'm always using a very savoury chutney.
