Cooking Steps

Cook the rice
1

• To a medium saucepan, add the water (for the rice) 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!

Make the curry
2

• 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. Add onion and cook until tender, 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Add Mumbai spice blend, mild North Indian spice blend and tomato paste and cook, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Then add cooked haloumi, thickened cream, the brown sugar and water (for the curry). Simmer until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes.

Make the salsa
3

• Roughly chop tomato and celery. • In a medium bowl, combine tomato, celery, a drizzle of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Finish & serve
4

• Stir baby spinach leaves and the butter through the rice. Season to taste. • Divide butter rice and haloumi tikka masala between bowls. • Top with salsa. Serve with Greek-style yoghurt. Enjoy!
