Peel and chop onion. Peel and crush the clove of garlic. Chop the dried apricots finely. Tear the bread into pieces, place in shallow dish and pour half the milk over it. Leave it to soak. Melt butter and cook the onion and garlic over low heat for 5 min. Add groundbeef to onion/garlic and brown. Mix curry powder, chili powder, lemon joice, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Add the meat. Add raisins, almonds, apricots, and soaked bread with the milk that it was soaking in. Spoon the mixture into the greased dish.
