Here I come with a different kind of Starter. I had mentioned about this Recipe in my sister's side dish of Malai Bhendi, where I met a Mallu girl who taught me this, Nithya had made this. I will tell you how it is made, people who don't mind a little bit of salt in their palate may enjoy this, as this is a saltish cheese and it is called Halloumi cheese, it is a Greek cheese, The label says it is great with salad dressings, anyway everybody in the party enjoyed it and here goes how it is made!!

- Take a pan & heat it nicely, say sizzling hot, place these cheeses on them & roast them as shown in the photo, until the watery thing in them disappears & becomes nice golden brown in colour
