Butter Halloumi Curry

Step 1

Heat the oven to 200C / 390F.

Step 3

Spray a large baking sheet with oil. Put the halloumi on top and sprinkle with garam masala. Spray with another layer of oil and then place in the oven for 10- 12 mins until golden.

Step 5

Meanwhile, get to work on the sauce. Melt some butter in a pan and then add the garlic, ginger, cardamom seeds and cloves. Fry for a moment until the garlic is softened.

Step 7

Add the ground spices (coriander, tumeric, garam masala and chili powder) to the pan and cook for a minute or so, letting the spices become fragrant.

Step 9

Add the tomato paste and mix through the spices before adding the passata (tomato sauce) and lemon juice.

Step 11

Simmer until just before serving.

Step 13

A few minutes before serving, add the butter and cream and stir over a low heat until the sauce has become creamy (but be careful not to cook it for too long or on too high heat at this point to avoid the cream splitting.)

Step 15

Add the halloumi last, and mix through until it's coated in the sauce.

Step 17

Serve immediately, over rice.
