Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut the halloumi into bite-sized cubes.
- Heat the oil in a pan and brown the halloumi until lightly golden, then set aside.
- In the same pan, cook the onion until soft.
- Add the garlic, curry powder, and cumin, and stir briefly until fragrant.
- Add the tomatoes and coconut milk.
- Let the sauce simmer gently until slightly thickened.
- Return the halloumi to the pan and coat it well with the sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper, then cook for a few minutes until everything is heated through.
Typical mistakes to avoid
Don’t overcook the halloumi in the sauce — it stays nicer when it keeps a bit of firmness.
Avoid boiling hard; gentle heat keeps the sauce creamy instead of oily.
