18 August 2021
Ingredients
- Oil, for frying
- 550g halloumi, cut into long sticks
- 1 whole egg, beaten
- 120ml plain flour
- 3 tbsp za'atar, plus extra for sprinkling
- 2 tsp smoked paprika
- A pinch salt
- 2 tbsp freshly chopped coriander
- 120ml fat-free yoghurt
Method
STEP 1
In a deep bowl, add plain flour, smoked paprika, za'atar, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
STEP 2
Cut halloumi block into 1-inch-thick sticks or fries.
STEP 3
Take each halloumi stick and dip it into the flour mixture. Roll until it is completely coated with the flour mixture.
STEP 4
Dip the fries in beaten egg and back into the flour mixture so that they get a nice layer. You can use breadcrumbs to coat the fries as well.
STEP 5
In a deep pan or frying pan, heat oil. Once the oil is hot, add coated halloumi sticks one by one.
STEP 6
Once they get a nice golden colour, take them out of the frying pan and place them on a kitchen towel so that you get rid of excess oil.
STEP 7
You can also air-fry these halloumi fries. Place them in the air fryer basket and air fry for about 10 minutes at 355-degree f. Make sure you turn the fries halfway so that they get an equal colour.
STEP 8
In a bowl, add fat-free yoghurt and freshly chopped coriander. Mix well.
Season the fries with more za'atar and serve the halloumi fried alongside yoghurt dip.
