1 sachet
Mild North Indian Spice Blend
1
Red Onion
1 packet
Crushed Peanuts
1 packet
Jasmine rice
1 packet
Baby Spinach Leaves
1 packet
Tomato Paste
1 packet
Halloumi
(Contains: Milk; )
1 packet
Cream
(Contains: Milk; )
1
Carrot
2
Garlic
1 drizzle
olive oil
1.5 cup
water (for the rice)
1 tsp
honey
¼ cup
water (for the sauce)
20 g
butter
(Contains: Milk; )
• In a medium saucepan, add the water (for the rice) and bring to the boil. • Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 12 minutes, then remove pan from the heat and keep covered until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• While the rice is cooking, cut haloumi into 2cm chunks. • Roughly chop onion (see ingredients). • Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. • Finely chop garlic.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook haloumi, tossing, until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion and carrot until golden, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic, Mumbai spice blend, tomato paste (see ingredients), mild North Indian spice blend (see ingredients) and the honey and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Reduce the frying pan heat to medium, add coconut milk and water (for the sauce), stir well to combine. • Return the haloumi to the pan and simmer until curry is thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, add the butter, baby leaves and a good pinch of pepper, and stir until just wilted.
• Divide rice between bowls. • Top with haloumi butter masala. • Sprinkle over crushed peanuts to serve. Enjoy!
