Tips

  • Pat the halloumi slices dry with paper towels before frying for an extra crispy exterior.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan when frying halloumi; cook in batches if necessary to ensure even browning.
  • Serve immediately with extra dill sauce on the side for dipping, or add some sliced cucumber for freshness.
