For a richer flavor, consider adding a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt to the mashed potato topping. Experiment with different vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, or butternut squash for a unique twist. Feel free to adjust the spice levels to your preference by adding more or less chili powder. Ensure the potatoes are thoroughly drained to prevent a soggy topping.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepPlace the potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender. Drain and allow to steam dry for a minute or two. (25 minutes)
03
StepMeanwhile, combine cumin seeds, ground coriander, ground turmeric, curry leaves, and sliced green chile in a bowl. Set aside. Place vegetable oil and mustard seeds in a large skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat until the mustard seeds begin popping, then reduce heat to low. When the popping stops, quickly add the cumin mixture and replace the lid; cook until the herbs make a hissing sound. Mix in the green bell pepper, garlic, and onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent. Stir in the spinach, corn, and peas until heated through. Stir in the baked beans. Toss in the cilantro, and season with chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and pepper. Divide vegetable and bean mixture evenly into two 9-inch round pie pans. (20 minutes)
04
StepCombine potatoes, butter, milk, and 1 pinch of salt in a bowl. Mash until smooth. Spread mashed potatoes over the bean mixture using a fork to create small peaks that will become crisp during baking. (10 minutes)
05
StepBake in the preheated oven until potatoes are golden brown. Cool for 5 minutes before serving. (25 minutes)
