2 onions finely chopped
1 jar of yoghurt
2 eggs

Add potatoes and stir them until they soften. Add minced meat and sauté. Bring ½ l water to the boil . Stir mashed tomatoes/ or freshly grated/ in the mixture. Season with sugar, salt and black pepper. Stir the mixture while cooking over low heat. Before removing from heat add savory. Pour the mixture into a baking tin, pour in hot water and bake in preheated oven at 200 degrees C.

Cooking the Sauce:

Put 2 tbsp flour in a saucepan over medium heat and stir until it is golden. Remove it and allow it to cool down. Whisk 2 eggs and some yoghurt. Stir in the flour. Add a pinch of salt. When the potatoes are cooked, spread the sauce over the mousaka and spoon well. Before that ,if necessary ,add some hot water to the baking tin. Bake until golden brown.
