Cashew Halloumi Curry

This Cashew Halloumi Curry is filled with yummy veggies and has a rich creamy sauce. It is one of my favorite curries!

Halloumi is one of my favourite cheeses and love to find new recipes to add it to! It comes from Cyprus and is made from sheep’s, goat’s, and / or cow’s milks. It holds it’s shape while frying and gets a crispy exterior and a soft, chewy center. Some call it squeaky cheese because it can be in a delicious way.  It tastes so great in this curry pared with a creamy, flavorful cashew sauce.

Ingredients to make this Halloumi Curry:

• Halloumi, cut in cubes
• Olive oil
• Onion, chopped
• Garlic cloves, minced 
• Ginger, peeled and grated
• Red curry paste
• Zucchini, chopped
• Red pepper, chopped
• Cashew nuts
• Tomato frito or passata
• Coconut milk
• Lime, juiced
• For serving: quinoa or rice, greek yoghurt, cilantro and roasted cashews

Instructions:
