Crispy coated halloumi sticks come fried and ready to dip, with a separate pot of chilli jam on the side. Inside the shell, the cheese stays soft and springy, while the coating adds a dry crunch that contrasts with the squeaky interior. Jam is sweet with a gentle chilli heat, so you get the usual salty halloumi contrast without much fuss. In Nando's starter lineup, it's one of two halloumi options, served as finger food rather than a plated salad or side. Five sticks come in each portion, making them easy to share or keep for yourself depending on appetite. Coating holds up well for the first few minutes, though the cheese firms as it cools, so eating them hot is the way to go.
