Saag originated from Punjab, a state in northern India. This twist on saag paneer uses halloumi instead of paneer to soak up the mild yet flavoursome flavours of this delicious side dish. Serve alongside your favourite curries and use fluffy naans to scoop it all up.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Fry the Halloumi

1

a) Drain the halloumi, then cut it into 2cm chunks. Place them into a small bowl of cold water and leave to soak, 5-10 mins.

b) Remove the halloumi cubes from the cold water, pop them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper and pat them dry.

c)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.

Bring on the Flavour

2

a) Once cooked, add the korma curry paste and mix to coat the halloumi, 1 min.

b) Add the spinach. Season with salt and pepper and add a splash of water. Stir-fry until wilted and piping hot, 2-3 mins.

c) Turn down the heat to medium, then add the creme fraiche and water (see pantry for amount). Stir to combine, 1-2 mins.

Finish and Serve

3

a) Pop your halloumi saag style side dish into your serving bowl and sprinkle over the toasted flaked almonds to finish.

Enjoy!
