Tip:
– Do not overcook the green lentil as it easily goes into mush.
-Can not find the Chilli Halloumi? You can use normal halloumi or paneer instead. I would add a small amount of chopped red chili though.
-For Gluten intolerance or Coeliac folks. Make sure you use Gluten-free soy sauce. However, most Thai curry is gluten-free, anyway.
