Submitted by Moor Driver

"Delicious little fritters, perfect for al fresco dining. You could easily substitute feta cheese for the halloumi to suit your own tastes. Very nice served with a chutney or sweet chili dipping sauce."

Easy, tasty and different. I followed the recipe exactly. Served with mango chutney, banana catsup and sweet chill sauce as dips. The banana catsup was the best of the three.

Have only made these with feta, but they have met with approval every time I have served them. I just wish I didn't have to weigh the flour!
