Spicy Halloumi with Tomato & Coriander Salad

This is a delicious quick and slightly different salad. Literally takes 15minutes to make...

Ingredients:
For the spicy halloumi: 
375g halloumi, cut into 4mm slices
2 Tblsp olive oil
2 tsp garam masala
1/2 tsp chilli powder
Squeeze of lemon juice

For the tomato and coriander salad:
350g cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 - 1/2 red onion, finely chopped or sliced
2 Tblsp olive oil
1 Tblsp lemon juice
Handful coriander leaves, chopped

To serve (optional):
4 Tblsp natural yogurt or cucumber raita or tzaziki
Mini naan bread

Method:
1. Put the halloumi in a bowl. Mix together the olive oil, garam masala, chili powder and lemon juice. Pour the mix over the halloumi and turn the cheese so it is coated. If you have the time, cover and marinate in the fridge for 2 hours or longer.
2. Meanwhile, toss the tomatoes, onion, olive oil, lemon juice and coriander together and lightly season.
3. To cook the halloumi, heat a large frying pan or griddle over a medium-high heat. Add the halloumi and fry for a couple of minutes on each side until golden. This may have to be done in batches.
4. Put the halloumi on top of the salad and serve with yogurt/raita/tzaziki and naan bread, if you like.
