Cook the onions in a skillet to remove water content and acidity, allowing natural sweetness to develop.

Add minced garlic and ground lamb to the skillet, breaking it up and mixing it with the onions.

Cook the lamb for about 10 minutes until the water content starts to evaporate and the meat begins to crackle.

Continue cooking until the water evaporates completely to intensify the flavor of the lamb.

Add about 10 grams of flour to the lamb for body and texture.

Pour in approximately 1/2 liter of water and add the Knorr beef stock pot to the mixture.

Add a sprig of thyme and allow the mixture to braise slowly on the stove for about one hour.

Spoon the lamb mixture into a baking dish.

Sprinkle cooked diced carrots over the lamb mixture.

Allow the mixture to chill and set before adding the mashed potatoes on top.

Spread 1 kilogram of mashed potatoes evenly over the lamb mixture, creating a seal for presentation.

Dip a fork in water and use it to create texture on the potato topping.

Bake in a hot oven for about 20 to 30 minutes until the topping is crispy and golden brown.
