- 4 free-range eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk flour, curry powder, eggs and salt together until smooth. Add milk and whisk to combine. Mix in grated butternut/pumpkin, peas, onion and haloumi.
- Heat oil in a large non-stick fry pan on medium heat. Cook ¼ cups of mixture at a time for about 2 minutes each side until golden brown. You will need to cook the fritters in 2-3 batches. Drain fritters on paper towels.

Notes
The grated haloumi makes them really tasty, along with the touch of curry powder for heat and flavour. Use a mild curry powder if that’s your preference. A simple salad with herbs is the perfect accompaniment to these haloumi fritters, with a dollop of tomato chutney on the side.
