Butter Halloumi Curry

This Butter Halloumi Curry brings the flavors of Cyprus to your kitchen! Halloumi, a delightful cheese that doesn’t melt, is the star of this dish. Its salty, firm texture, similar to mozzarella, makes it perfect for frying. The cheese is cooked with aromatic spices like garam masala, then gently folded into a creamy tomato sauce with almond flakes, cream, and a hint of lemon. Serve it with fluffy homemade naan bread, and you’ll have an unforgettable meal that’s bursting with rich flavors and warmth.
