Method
Place the chickpeas, garlic, cumin, coriander and olive oil into the bowl of a food processor. Blend briefly. Add the flour and season with salt and pepper. Blend again.
Stuff each PEPPADEW® Jalapeño Cone with a baton of halloumi cheese. Cover the popper with a thin layer of the chickpea mixture.
Heat the oil in a pot or deep fat fryer. Once the oil is hot, fry the poppers, in batches, for 2-4 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Alternatively, place the poppers onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper and bake at 180°C for 10-15 minutes.
