Instructions

1

• In 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 12 minutes, then remove from heat. • Keep covered, until rice is tender and water is absorbed, 12 minutes.

TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam, so don't peek!

• While the rice is cooking, cut haloumi into bite-sized chunks. Transfer haloumi to a medium bowl, then add enough water to cover. • Roughly chop brown onion. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Finely chop garlic. Drain haloumi, then pat dry. • In a large frying pan, heat a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. When oil is hot, cook haloumi, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 2-4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion and carrot, tossing, until golden, 4-5 minutes. Add garlic, tomato paste, Mumbai spice blend, mild North Indian spice blend (see ingredients) and the honey and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Reduce heat to medium, then stir in thickened cream and the water (for the sauce). Return haloumi to the pan. Simmer until thickened, 2-3 minutes. Remove pan from heat, then stir in the butter, a pinch of pepper and baby spinach leaves, until spinach is just wilted, 1 minute.
