Preheat oven to 180°C.
Boil potatoes until soft in salted water.
Drain and mash with milk and margarine until smooth then set aside.
Heat oil in a pot and gently fry the onion until soft.
Add the beef mince and fry until well browned, stirring to break up the mince.

Add the carrots and water and allow to simmer covered for 20 minutes.
Add the frozen peas and allow to simmer for a further 5 minutes.
