Equipment

1 Deep fat fryer Or pan with oil for frying

Ingredients

1 Block Halloumi cheese
1 teaspoon Table salt
¾ teaspoon Dried Thyme
¾ teaspoon Dried Basil
2 tablespoon Paprika
½ teaspoon Dried Oregano
½ tablespoon Celery salt
1 tablespoon Garlic salt
½ tablespoon Black pepper
½ tablespoon Dry mustard powder
½ tablespoon Ground Ginger
½ tablespoon MSG Optional
1 Cup Plain white flour

Instructions

Mix all the herbs and spices into a bowl and stir together. Switch on the deep fat fryer and get it up to 180°C
1 tsp Table salt, ¾ tsp Dried Thyme, ¾ tsp Dried Basil, 2 tbsp Paprika, ½ tsp Dried Oregano, ½ tbsp Celery salt, 1 tbsp Garlic salt, ½ tbsp Black pepper, ½ tbsp Dry mustard powder, ½ tbsp Ground Ginger, ½ tbsp MSG, 1 Cup Plain white flour
Slice your halloumi into fries.
1 Block Halloumi cheese
Coat your halloumi fries in the herbs and spice mix.
Once coated, keep them separate to each other so they don't stick until the oil is ready and at temperature.
When ready, drop them one by one into the oil and let them cook for about 2 - 3 minutes until golden. Lift them out and drain for a few minutes before finally giving them another 1 minute in the hot oil to properly brown off. Drain and serve.

Notes

This dish is a total carb fest and is not a healthy meal. However it is a comfort food and should be enjoyed in proportion as part of a well balanced diet.

The key to success with this dish is to not overload the deep fat fryer. Cook the halloumi in batches and try not to pile up before cooking.
