Butter Halloumi Curry with Rice

Prepare the ingredients. Get all the ingredients ready so everything is within reach - let's cook! 🔪🔥

Cook the rice. Cook the rice in twice the amount of salted water under a lid for about 15 minutes - bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it finish cooking until the water is absorbed.

Slice the onion. Dice the onion into small cubes.

Chop the garlic. Finely chop the garlic into small pieces.

Cut the halloumi. Cut the cheese into smaller cubes.

Saute the onion and garlic. Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat, add the onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and saute for about 3 minutes until softened and lightly golden.

Add the curry and puree. Add the curry powder and tomato puree and briefly saute over medium heat for about 1 minute to release the aroma of the spices.

Cook the sauce. Pour in the cream and simmer over low heat for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Fry the halloumi. In another pan, fry the cheese cubes over medium heat until golden brown on all sides, about 4 minutes.

Finish the sauce. Add the fried cheese and a knob of butter to the sauce and briefly simmer over low heat for about 1 minute so the flavors combine.

Serve. Serve with rice 🍽️✨
