Ingredients

• 1 block reduced-fat halloumi cheese (220g, soaked in boiling water for 20 minutes, then weighed at 180g)

• 20g chicken tikka masala paste (I used Aldi)

• 30g Brooklea 0% fat Greek yoghurt — the thick, strained style like Fage, but much cheaper

• 2 brioche buns

• 20g mango chutney (10g per burger)

  
  

Method

1. Soak the halloumi

   Place the halloumi block in boiling water and leave to soak for 20 minutes.

   
   

2. Make the tikka marinade

   Meanwhile, mix the tikka masala paste and Greek yoghurt together until well combined.

   
   

3. Marinate the halloumi

   Once the halloumi has soaked, remove it from the water, slice it into burger-sized pieces and coat generously in the tikka marinade.

   
   

4. Cook the halloumi

   Heat a dry frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the marinated halloumi and cook for a few minutes on each side until golden brown and nicely charred.

   
   

5. Toast the buns

   Toast the brioche buns if desired.

   
   

6. Assemble

   Spread any leftover tikka marinade over the cut sides of each bun. Top with the cooked tikka halloumi and finish with 10g mango chutney per burger.

   
   

7. Serve and enjoy! Xx

   Serve with chips, rice or a big, massive side salad full of goodness! 🥗
