water
¼ tsp
salt
• 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!
• While the rice is cooking, finely chop the brown onion. Trim green beans and slice into thirds. Roughly chop the Asian greens. • Rinse the red lentils. • Cut halloumi into bite-sized chunks.
• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a medium-high heat. Cook the onion and green beans until softened, 4-5 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 red lentils to the saucepan and bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover with a lid and cook until the 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. • While halloumi is cooking, roughly chop coriander. When the dhal has finished cooking, add halloumi and stir until combined.
• Divide basmati rice between bowls and top with halloumi and red lentil coconut dhal. Garnish with the coriander the serve. Enjoy!
