Cooking Steps

Cook the rice
1

• In a medium saucepan, add the water 
(for the rice) and bring to the boil. 
• Add 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 rice is tender and water is 
absorbed, 10 minutes. 
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so 
don't peek!

Get prepped
2

• 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. 

Start the dhal
3

• 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 the lentils
4

• 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. 

Finish the dhal
5

• While the dhal is cooking, heat a medium frying 
pan over medium-high heat with a generous 
drizzle of olive oil.
• When oil is hot, cook halloumi, tossing 
occasionally, until golden brown, 2-4 minutes.
• When the dhal has finished cooking, add 
halloumi and stir until combined. 

Finish & serve
6

• Divide basmati rice between bowls. Top with 
halloumi and red lentil coconut dhal. 
• Garnish with torn coriander to serve. Enjoy!
