Ingredients

Curry

  • 1/2 pack tomato curry blend
  • 1 tsp cornflour
  • 3/4 cup vegetable stock
  • 75g baby spinach
  • 3 Tbsp yoghurt
  • 1/2 pack garlic paste
  • 1/2 tsp oil
  • 1/2 carrot, grated
  • 100g haloumi cheese, diced 1cm
  • 1/2 pack cherry tomatoes, cut in half

To Serve

  • 1 Tbsp chopped cashew nuts

Rice

  • 75g brown rice
  • 1/2 broccoli, finely chopped

Steps

  1. Bring a medium pot of hot salted water to the boil.
  2. Add rice to pot of boiling water. Bring back to the boil and cook rice (ensuring a rapid boil) for about 20 minutes, or until grains are tender. Meanwhile, chop broccoli and add to pot for final 3 minutes of cook time. Drain well and return to pot. Keep warm.
  3. Dice haloumi and set aside. Grate carrot and cut tomatoes in half.
  4. Heat half the oil in a medium fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook haloumi for about 2 minutes turning often, until golden brown. Transfer to a small bowl and return pan to heat with remaining oil.
  5. Add garlic paste to pan and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add tomato curry blend, cornflour, carrot and a pinch of salt and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Add stock and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 5 minutes, until reduced.
  6. Remove curry from heat and stir through spinach to wilt. Fold through haloumi and yoghurt and season to taste with salt and pepper
  7. Rice topped with curry and cashews.
