Ingredients 

Saagwala  
1 brown onion, diced  
1 tomato, diced - large  
⅓ cup coconut cream  
4 cloves of garlic  
1 tbsp ginger, freshly grated  
1 tsp garam masala  
½ tsp chilli flakes  
¼ tsp cinnamon  
1 tsp sea salt

100g halloumi, cut into cubes  
2 tbsp cooking oil

2 tbsp chilli oil  
2 tbsp peanuts, toasted and chopped

Add all of the saagwala ingredients, except the greens, to a pan and simmer for 8 minutes. Add the greens to the pan in the last 2 minutes. Mix until wilted.  
Add the saagwala to the blender and blend until smooth and vibrant green.   
Clean the pan and cook the halloumi. Heat the cooking oil in the pan until hot, add the halloumi cubes and cook until golden on each side.
