• Finely chop garlic. • In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over medium heat. Cook 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add basmati rice, the water (for the rice) and a generous pinch of salt, stir, then bring to the boil. • Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. • Cook for 10 minutes, then remove 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!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Roughly chop tomato. Cut haloumi into bite-sized chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook haloumi, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 2-4 minutes. • Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. When oil is hot, cook carrot and tomato until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add Sri Lankan spice blend, tomato paste (see ingredients) and remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Reduce heat to medium, add coconut milk, chicken-style stock powder, the honey and water (for the sauce). • Return haloumi to the pan and simmer, until the sauce has thickened slightly, 2-3 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then stir through baby spinach leaves until just wilted. Season to taste.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls. • Top with Sri Lankan haloumi and veggie curry. • Garnish with crushed roasted cashews. Enjoy!
