If you are looking for a filling vegetarian meal that the whole family can enjoy, look no further than this Halloumi Curry. Halloumi here takes the place of traditional paneer, which you can get at supermarkets but it is not always readily available. This might be one of my favourite easy recipes. It takes 40 minutes but only 20 minutes of attention as for half the time it is simmering away. I urge you to try this out and hope it will become a regular in your kitchen as it is in mine.
This Halloumi Curry is truly a people pleaser. I do say this serves 4 people I will admit these are not massive portions, as I really enjoy eating with rice and nann. If you are not ‘double carb-ing’ then I say it will serve 3 well. This isn’t an extremely hot curry, you can, of course, make it hotter if you wish. But the heat of this recipe is one that can be enjoyed by all.
Sometimes, I feel, vegetarian recipes try and distract you from the fact there is no meat rather than celebrating the ingredients used. This is not the case hear you can taste halloumi and tomatoes and all of the spices, working together to sing songs over you palate. Vegetarian meals can be vibrant, filling and comforting. This Halloumi Curry is all of these things and more.
I particularly like recipes, such as this one, that I can leave to have a moment away. For I would much rather a dish took 40 minutes to make with 20 minutes of time alone than a frantic 15 minutes juggling 4 pans, the oven and a toaster. This feels easy and calm, a matter of stirring things together in order and then letting bubble together.
Curry is one of the favourite dishes of the United Kingdom, try this and you will see why. If you are looking for other vegetarian recipes take a look at:
