In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and milk.

Dip the coated halloumi into the egg mixture and then back into the flour mixture for extra coating.

Heat oil for frying in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering.

Add halloumi fries to the pan in a single layer.

Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove fries from the pan and drain on paper towels.

Serve hot, garnished with sour cream, zaatar, pomegranate seeds, and mint leaves.
