Gochujang and halloumi bring a twist to this comforting curry recipe. The sweet-spicy heat of gochujang gives depth of flavour to the coconut sauce, whilst using halloumi instead of the traditional paneer adds unique texture and saltiness. It's perfect for soaking up the delicious flavour of the coconut curry sauce.
