I can’t tell you what a surprise and delight this is. And if you have the patience, this − like any decent curry − is even better after it has had a weekend away in the back of your fridge. Serve with rice and more naan than you think you need.

The spice is the hard worker here, so use the best blend you can get your hands on.

Ingredients

2 tbsp flavourless oil or ghee
1 large onion, diced
2 tbsp korma curry powder
140g tub tomato paste
medium head of cauliflower, trimmed into florets
400g halloumi, cut into bite-sized pieces
400ml coconut milk

To serve

chopped coriander, to serve (optional)
rice and/or naan, to serve

Method

Step 1
Add the oil or ghee to a large frying pan and place over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook until soft and translucent. Add the korma curry powder, stirring briefly to coat the onion, then add the tomato paste. Cook until the paste darkens slightly in colour and is coating the onion. Add the cauliflower and halloumi and cook for a few minutes before adding the coconut milk.
Step 2
Stir gently to combine, then simmer for 10 minutes or until the curry has reduced, and the sauce has thickened. If it reduces too quickly, add a splash of boiling water to loosen. Serve with rice and naan.
