Bulgarian Musaka (мусака)
  1. Fry the onion and carrot until soft

  2. Add the mince and cook until browned

  3. Stir in tomato paste and spices and let them release their flavour

  4. Add the mashed tomatoes

  5. Add the potatoes and stir

  6. Add enough water to just cover the potatoes

  7. Simmer for about 20 minutes, until the potatoes are almost cooked

  8. Transfer to a baking dish and bake at 170°C (fan) for around 40 minutes, until some of the liquid evaporates and the top starts to crisp

  9. Mix all ingredients for the zalivka (yoghurt topping) and work quickly as the baking soda reacts with the yoghurt and makes it fluffy

  10. Pour the zalivka over the musaka and bake for another 10-15 minutes, until golden

  11. Serve warm with an extra spoon of yoghurt
