Ingredients

  • 9 ounces halloumi cheese (usually 1 package – exact weight really doesn’t matter)
  • 3 tablespoons flour (or a little more if you need it)
  • vegetable oil for frying ((or light olive oil) I usually fill a medium saucepan to a depth of about half an inch)
  • sweet chili sauce ((or sweet dipping sauce of your choice))
  • Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut cheese into cubes.: Cut the halloumi cheese into cubes about 1 inch square (exact size doesn’t matter though).

  2. 2

    Roll in flour.: Spread the flour out on a plate and roll the halloumi cubes in it while they’re still wet.

  3. 3

    Heat up oil and fry cheese for a few minutes on each side.: Heat up the oil in a medium saucepan until the end of the halloumi sizzles when dipped into it. Then, carefully lower the halloumi bites into the oil. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until deep golden and crunchy-looking (you might have to do this in 2 or more batches).

  4. 4

    Lift out with slotted spoon.: Lift the bites out of the oil with a slotted metal spoon, and serve in bowls with sweet chili sauce and Greek yogurt (if you like).
