Home made halloumi cheese

[PhuketFarang]

Just made this wonderful halloumi cheese from Makro Aro milk. 

5L made almost a kg of cheese.  Don't even know who sells this cheese in Thailand.

That looks great. Well done. I have looked everywhere in Thailand for Halloumi Cheese and never been able to find it.

I couldn't find it here either so I just made it.  One of my favorite finger snacks.  I do a salt-garlic-chili flake rub after poaching and before frying.  Don't like the traditional mint rub.

im not even sure what it is although ive heard of it.

never made cheese in my life but ive cut it many times.  

i would like to give it a try so thanks in advance for any help.

Looks really tasty. Any idea what the calorific content is?

 

I've made paneer before, it's an Indian cheese that's really easy to make. It doesn't have a really strong flavour but it adds a nice chewy texture to curries such as saag paneer made with spinach.

 

Calories are about the same as brie.

Many places sell Haloumi in Thailand or at least Bangkok. This is a chunk I bought at Villa. Passiondelivery had it as well. Exactly the same look when you fry it. Use oil and sprinkle herbs on it. 

 

Not sure what the question was the OP had?
