Halloumi fries
1) Whisk the flour, cumin, turmeric and paprika in a bowl with a little salt and pepper.
2) Dip each of the Burns chips into the flour mix to coat all the sides and place on a plate.
3) Heat the oil in a shallow heavy bottomed pan to 180C ( or when dropped in, a small cube of bread instantly sizzles) .
4) In batches, fry the ‘chips’ for a couple of minutes until they go golden brown, carefully turning if necessary. Drain on kitchen paper and serve instantly with the dip.
