Cooking Steps

1
  • Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced.
  • In a medium bowl, place haloumi and cover with water to soak.
  • Cut potato, zucchini and capsicum into bite-sized chunks. 
  • Place veggies on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. 
  • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

TIP: If your oven tray is crowded, divide between two trays.

2
  • Meanwhile, to a medium saucepan, add the water and bring to the boil.
  • Add basmati rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove pan from 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!

3
  • When rice has 5 minutes remaining, drain haloumi and pat dry. Cut the haloumi into 1cm-thick slices.
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Cook haloumi until golden brown, 1-2 minutes each side.
  • Remove pan and add tandoori paste and a good splash of water, turning to coat.
4
  • Roughly chop cucumber and tomato.
  • In a second medium bowl, combine cucumber, tomato, a drizzle of olive oil and white wine vinegar. Season.
5
  • Place basmati rice, half the tandoori haloumi and cucumber salsa in a bowl. Dollop with half the Greek-style yoghurt and tamarind chutney to serve. Enjoy!
6
  • When you're ready to pack your lunch, place baby spinach leaves, roast veggie toss and reserved haloumi in a container. Top with remaining yoghurt and tamarind chutney. Refrigerate.
  • At lunch, toss the salad with a drizzle of white wine vinegar and season to taste. Enjoy!
