Steps:

• Form into loaf on baking sheet.
• Bake one hour at 350°.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large baking dish.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in melted butter until browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Combine 2 eggs, 1 cup milk, oats, raisins, almonds, vinegar, curry powder, sugar, salt, turmeric, and black pepper in a large bowl. Add onions and ground beef; mix well. Spread the beef evenly into the prepared baking dish; top with bay leaves.
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and drain excess fat from the beef.
• Beat 1 egg and 1/4 cup milk together in a bowl; pour over the beef mixture.
• Continue baking in oven until the top is beginning to brown, about 30 minute more. Remove and discard bay leaves to serve.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Combine tea, raisins, and apricots in a bowl; let sit for 30 minutes. Drain, and reserve 1/3 cup soaking liquid; set both aside.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onion; cook until lightly caramelized, about 8 minutes. Add turmeric, coriander, cayenne, cumin, fenugreek, pepper, fennel, and salt; cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add reserved soaked fruit and soaking liquid and vinegar; cook until almost all liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes.
• Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl; add beef, and mix until evenly combined. Transfer meat mixture to a foil-lined baking sheet, and shape into an 8″ × 4″ loaf; press almonds over top of meat loaf, and bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meat loaf reads 160F, about 40 minutes.
