250g haloumi, coarsely grated
2 cups (240g) frozen peas, thawed
2 eggs, lightly whisked
1/2 cup (75g) self-raising flour + extra flour
1/3 cup (80ml) milk
1 beaten egg (for coating)
Panko bread crumbs
Greek Yoghurt and Lemon wedges, to serve
Deep fryer
Mixing bowls
Ice cream scoop
Place the thawed peas in a bowl. Use a fork to mash until coarsely crushed.
Stir in the haloumi and 2 whisked eggs. Add the 1/2 cup of flour and milk and stir until combined. Season.
Add extra flour until the mixture can be formed into soft balls.
Using an ice cream scoop take a scoop of the pea mixture, then form it into a ball using your hands.
Roll the ball in flour, then the beaten egg and then in panko crumbs until it is coated.
Place 4 to 6 fritters into your deep fryer (depending on its size) and cook until golden and cooked through. Approximately 5 minutes at 180o.
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Cover with foil to keep warm. Repeat, in batches, with remaining pea mixture.
Serve with yoghurt and lemon wedges.
