Step 1

To make the curry, put a large non-stick saucepan on a high heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the cubes of cheese and fry them, making sure to toss them around so they get a good browning all over. You may need to do this in 2 batches.

Step 2

Spoon out the cheese and set aside on a plate. Add another 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan, then add the garlic and let it brown for a few minutes.

Step 3

Add the onions, red peppers and salt and cook until they are soft – this will take about 10 minutes. Add the turmeric, cumin seeds, lemon zest and juice. Stir and cook for a few minutes, then pour in the water and cook for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Take off the heat and use a stick blender to purée the mixture to a smooth paste.

Step 5

Put the pan back on the heat and add the fried halloumi. Heat the cheese through and add the chopped coriander.

Step 6

To make the sambal, put the coconut, garlic, lime juice and zest and coriander into a food processor and blitz until the mixture is an even texture.

Step 7

Serve the curry with hot basmati rice, and sprinkle generously with the coconut sambal.
