Power up on proteins! Add halloumi to your meal with our Protein Boost option. This meatless curry becomes deliciously dense when you load it with lentils and oven-browned cauliflower florets. Fill out the lively flavours of our Indian-style spice blend even further with ginger and garlic in a tomato base. And then rich it up with cashew butter and cream for a satiny texture. To sop up any remaining morsels, get your hands on that hot-buttered naan bread—it’s there to help clean the plates.

Preparation
Roast the cauliflower
Preheat the oven to 450°F. On a lined sheet pan, toss the cauliflower (halve if large) with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, stirring halfway, 18 to 20 min., until lightly browned and tender.
Start the curry
Meanwhile, in a large pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the ginger and ½ the garlic. Sauté, 1 to 2 min., until fragrant; season with the remaining spices and S&P. Add the tomato sauce and 1 cup water (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring occasionally, 10 to 12 min., until the flavours have combined and the liquid is reduced.
Mise en place
Meanwhile, drain and rinse the lentils. Thinly slice the scallion crosswise, separating the white bottom and green top. In a small bowl, microwave 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) and the remaining garlic, in 15 sec. increments, until melted.
Toast the naan & sear the halloumi
Toast the naan directly on an oven rack, 4 to 6 min., until slightly crispy and warmed through. Transfer to a cutting board and brush with the garlic butter. Once cool enough, cut into wedges. Rinse the halloumi and pat dry with paper towel; thinly slice. In a medium pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium. Add the halloumi and sear, 1 to 2 min. per side, until golden brown.
Finish the curry
To the pan of sauce, add the white bottom of the scallion, lentils, cashew butter, cream and 1 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions). Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 min., until combined; season with S&P. Add the cauliflower and halloumi; stir well.
Plate your dish
Divide the curry between your plates. Garnish with the green top of the scallion. Serve the naan on the side. Bon appétit!
