Add curry powder, turmeric, salt, and minced beef, frying until browned throughout.

Mash the soaked bread and stir it into the meat along with the raisins until fully combined.
5
Transfer the beef mixture into a greased baking dish and smooth the top evenly.

Whisk the remaining milk together with the eggs and a pinch of salt.
