Cooking Steps

Roast the veggies
1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Chop cauliflower into small florets. Cut zucchini 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 and brown around edges, 20-25 minutes. • In a medium bowl, place haloumi and cover with water to soak.

Prep the meatballs
2

• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine beef mince, the salt, fine breadcrumbs and a pinch of pepper. • Using damp hands, roll heaped spoonfuls of beef mixture into small meatballs (4-5 per person).

Bake the meatballs
3

• Transfer meatballs to baking dish. • Drizzle with olive oil and turn to coat. Bake until browned, 15-20 minutes. • Remove from oven, then add tandoori paste and a splash of water. Season with a pinch of salt. • Turn the meatballs to coat, then bake until sauce is slightly thickened, a further 8-10 minutes.

Make the couscous & cook the haloumi
4

• When meatballs have 10 minutes remaining, boil the kettle. • In a medium bowl, add couscous and a generous pinch of salt. • Add the boiling water (see ingredients) and stir to combine. Immediately cover with plate and leave for 5 minutes. • Fluff up with fork and set aside. • Drain haloumi and pat dry. Cut 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. Transfer to a bowl.

Bring it all together
5

• To couscous, add roast veggies, baby spinach leaves, cooked haloumi and a drizzle of white wine vinegar. Toss to combine. Season to taste.

Finish & serve
6

• Divide roast cauliflower and haloumi toss between bowls. Top with tandoori beef meatballs and Greek-style yoghurt. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Some found it delicious, while others felt it lacked flavour. Adding extra tandoori paste can boost the taste.
  • Ease of prep: The dish took longer to cook than expected. Consider adjusting oven times for more tender meatballs.
  • Suggestions: Use leaner mince for a better texture. Reduce cooking time to prevent meatballs from becoming too crusty.
