Instructions

1

a) Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

b) Pop the diced sweet potato onto a large baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

c) When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden and tender, 20-22 mins. Turn halfway through.

2

a) Meanwhile, boil a half-full kettle.

b) Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan with 0.25 tsp salt on high heat. Add the rice and cook for 10-12 mins.

c) Once cooked, drain in a sieve, then pop it on top of the pan and allow to steam until ready to serve.

3

a) Drain the halloumi, then cut it into 2cm chunks. 

b) Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the halloumi and fry, turning frequently, until golden, 6-7 mins.

c) Once cooked, remove from the pan to a plate lined in kitchen paper.

4

a) Wipe out the (now empty) frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

b) Once hot, add the Zanzibar style curry powder and fry for 1 min.

c) Stir through the coconut milk, vegetable stock paste and water for the sauce (see pantry for amount).

d) Bring up to the boil, then lower to a simmer. Cook until thickened slightly, 3-4 mins. 

5

a) Add the peas to the curry and cook for 1-2 mins. 

b) When the sweet potato has roasted, stir it through the curry along with the honey and fried halloumi. TIP: If your honey has hardened, put the sachet in a bowl of hot water for 1 min to loosen.

c) Remove from the heat, then taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

6

a) Fluff up your rice with a fork and share between bowls.

b) Top with your curry.

c) Sprinkle over the crispy onions and chilli flakes to finish. 

Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the unique combination of halloumi and sweet potato in a curry, praising its delicious taste and interesting blend of flavours.
  • Ease of prep: Quick and easy to prepare, though some found the sauce took longer to thicken than expected.
  • Suggestions: Consider reducing water for a thicker sauce; roast sweet potatoes for less time to prevent burning.
  • Spice level: Some found it spicier than expected for a 'mild' curry; consider adjusting spice to taste.
  • Texture: The halloumi's texture divided opinions; try soaking it first for a softer bite.
