Method
- In a bowl, mix the flour and paprika, then use to lightly coat the halloumi.
- Add the oil to a wide, deep, heavy-based pan, so that it fills to a depth of about 1½cm, and heat until sizzling. Add a few pieces of halloumi at a time and fry for 1-2 mins, turning with tongs, until golden and crispy all over. Transfer to a piece of kitchen paper and repeat with the remaining halloumi.
- Sprinkle the fries with salt, toss to coat, then divide between paper cones or bowls. Stir the coriander into the yogurt; season. Scatter the chilli over the fries and serve with the yogurt.
