"Want a shortcut with more flavors? Try our CURRY POWER seasoning to substitute cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, and garam masala! For this recipe, we took inspiration from Indian curry with paneer and experimented with a popular European grill cheese: Halloumi cheese. Halloumi has a similar texture to paneer, but the taste is different. Golden, crispy halloumi cheese is surprisingly tasty when tossed in a hearty curry with sweet potato and peas. If you want to experiment with new flavor combinations in your kitchen, or just love halloumi cheese, give it a try! If you want to try paneer curry, you can check out the palak paneer recipe on our platform."
