  1. Melt the rest of the butter in a big pot before adding the onion, chillies, garlic, ginger and the rest of the cashew nuts. Stir fry for about 5 minutes, until all the ingredients have softened.

 

  1. Add all the spices and the salt and fry for about 1 minute. When the mixture is fragrant, pour in the cashew nut mixture and bring to the boil.  Then add the halloumi and broccoli to the sauce and cook for another 5 minutes.  Serve hot with naan bread or rice and a sprinkling of coriander.
