Step 2: Put the ground spices in a blender along with the other sauce ingredients. Blend until smooth. Transfer the sauce to a slow cooker and add halloumi cheese and a cinnamon stick.
Step 3: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 3-5 hours. Take out the cinnamon stick and stir in the cream. Heat the curry briefly, check the seasoning, and sprinkle some coriander on top. Serve with rice and mango chutney for a flavourful meal.
