  How can you make halloumi even better? Sabrina Ghayour says: combine it with carrot and dill, and  deep fry. And we agree. Perfect with       drinks or as part of a feast

​

INDREDIENTS:

​

• carrots 2 large, coarsely grated

​

• halloumi 250g, coarsely grated

​

• egg 1 large

​

• dill a small bunch, finely chopped

​

• plain flour 4 tbsp

​

• cumin seeds 2 tsp

​

• paprika 1 tsp

​

• vegetable oil for deep-frying

​

• salad leaves to serve

​

METHOD:

​

• STEP 1 : Put the grated carrot and halloumi, along with the remaining ingredients, except the oil and salad, into a mixing bowl and season well with black pepper and just a little salt.

​

• STEP 2 : Work the mixture with your hands to combine it well, then take roughly 1 tbsp of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.

​

• STEP 3 : Fill a pan no more than 1/3 full with oil and heat to 180C or until a cube of bread browns in 30 seconds. Line a plate with a double layer of kitchen paper.

​

• STEP 4 : Carefully lower the balls into the hot oil and fry, in batches, for 1–2 minutes or until deep golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to the paper-lined plate to drain.

​

• STEP 5 : Serve hot with salad leaves.
