1 packet
haloumi/grill cheese
(Contains: Milk; )
½
Onion
1
carrot
3 clove
garlic
1 sachet
Mumbai Spice Blend
½ packet
tomato paste
½ sachet
Mild North Indian Spice Blend
½ packet
cream
(Contains: Milk; )
1 packet

Crushed Peanuts
(Contains: Peanuts; May be present: Wheat, Sesame, Milk, Soy, Almond, Brazil Nut, Cashew, Hazelnut, Macadamia, Pecan, Pistachio, Pine Nut, Walnut)
olive oil
1.25 cup

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. Pat haloumi dry with paper towel and add to the pan. • Cook, 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 heat to medium, add cream (see ingredients) and water (for the sauce), stir well to combine. • Return the haloumi to the pan and simmer until 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!
