If you don’t enjoy cooked courgette, use a peeler to peel courgette into ribbons and toss through salad for extra crunch. If wanting to season your curry, make sure to taste it before adding any salt! Serve salad on the side for those little foodies.


Ingredients

Rice

  • 1 cup Jasmine rice
  • 1½ cups water

Korma

  • 400g orange kumara
  • 1 brown onion
  • 1-2 Tbsp korma paste
  • 1 courgette
  • 200g halloumi cheese
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1 tsp GF rice wine vinegar

Salad

  • 1 Lebanese cucumber
  • 1 tomato
  • 20g pumpkin seeds

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 220°C. Line an oven tray with baking paper. Combine rice, water and a pinch of salt in a small pot and bring to the boil. As soon as it boils, cover with a lid and reduce to lowest heat to cook for 12 minutes. Turn off heat and leave to steam, covered, for a further 8 minutes. Do not lift lid during cooking.
  2. Dice kumara 2cm and finely dice onion. Toss kumara with a drizzle of oil on prepared tray and bake for about 15 minutes, until just tender.
  3. While kumara is cooking, heat a drizzle of oil in a large, deep fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook onion for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until softened. Add korma paste and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. While onion cooks, dice courgette and halloumi 1cm and set aside.
  4. Add coconut milk to curry and bring to a simmer. Add courgette to sauce and cook for 3-4 minutes, until courgette is just tender. Stir through cooked kumara and halloumi and cook for a further 1-2 minutes, until halloumi is warmed through. Stir through vinegar and season to taste.
  5. While korma is cooking, dice cucumber and tomato 1cm. Toss with pumpkin seeds and a drizzle of oil in a medium bowl. Season to taste.
  6. To serve, spoon cooked jasmine rice into each bowl and ladle over halloumi and kumara korma. Top with a handful of salad.
