1 sachet

1 sachet
Vegetable Stock Powder
1
Red Onion
1 packet
Coconut Milk
1 sachet
Coriander
1 packet
Tomato Paste
2 packet

(Contains: Milk; )

(May be present: Wheat, Gluten. )
• In a medium saucepan, add the water (for the rice) and bring to the boil. Add the basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and keep covered until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed, 10 minutes. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, finely chop the onion
(see ingredients).
• Chop broccoli (see ingredients), including the
stalk, into small florets.
• Roughly chop Asian greens.
• Rinse red lentils.
• Cut halloumi into bite-sized chunks.
• In a large deep frying pan (or saucepan), heat a
drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Cook onion and broccoli until softened,
5-6 minutes.
• Add ginger paste and mild North Indian spice
blend. Cook, stirring until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add the water (for the dhal), coconut milk,
tomato paste and vegetable stock powder. Stir
to combine.
• Add lentils to the pan and bring to the boil, then
reduce heat to a simmer. Cover with a lid and
cook until lentils are softened, 20-22 minutes.
• Stir through the salt and Asian greens until
wilted.
TIP: If the dhal is looking a little dry at any point,
just add a splash of water.
• While the dhal is cooking, in a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, cook halloumi, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). • While the halloumi is cooking, roughly chop the coriander. When the dhal has finished cooking, add the cooked halloumi and stir until combined.
• Divide the basmati rice between bowls and top with halloumi and red lentil coconut dhal. Garnish with the coriander. Enjoy!
