Crispy Calamari/Squid Rings



Crispy Calamari/Squid Rings

Crispy calamari rings can be served as an appetizer or as a snack. Squid/koontal deep fried and crispy is very appetizing. I usually make the Kerala style spicy roasted squid/koontal. But this one is quick recipe and kids will enjoy eating them.This is breaded calamari, you can also try tempura batter to make them.

Ingredients
Calamari/squid - 1/2 lb
Paprika- 1/2 tsp
Garlic paste- 1/2 tsp
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon juice- 1/2 tsp
finely chopped parsley-1/2 tsp
All purpose flour- 2 tsp
Egg- 2
Bread crumbs- 1 cup
Oil for deep frying


Mix calamari/squid with salt,pepper, lemon juice, paprika,garlic paste and chopped parsley. Mix well and set aside for at least 10 minutes.
In a bowl beat egg with two tsp of water. In another bowl put the bread crumbs.
 Toss calamari with the flour. Take one ring at a time, dip first in egg and then roll in bread crumbs.Layer then flat on a tray and keep in the fridge for 10-20 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan. Gently slide calamari rings into the oil,do not over crowd or fry in high heat. Keep the heat medium and fry till both sides are crispy for 3-4 minutes. Drain into paper towels. Serve warm with tomato sauce.


Try this,
Hope you will all enjoy!

Undan Pori

Undan Pori Today's post is a delicious snack usually common in small restaurants and tea stalls of Kerala.It resembles very much to the unni appam yet it is different in its taste and texture. Undan pori  is crispy and crunchy and at the same time soft and spongy inside. This snack was regularly seen in our college canteen. But this humble snack was brought it only if there was a shortage of uzhunnu vada and parippu vada. It sounds funny but being away from Kerala I felt a craving for this snack and tried it once, but I did not get the perfect chayakada/teastall taste. When I saw this recipe in Swathi's blog -Zesty South Indian Kitchen-I knew this was the perfect recipe. I tried it and it was really delicious. Thanks Swathi for the recipe. Ingredients Wheat flour- 1 1/3 cup Rice flour- 1/3 cup (optional) Baking soda-a pinch Jaggery- 3/4 cup Small banana mashed-3 Cardamon  powder-1/3 tsp Ghee- 1 tbs Coconut pieces- 1/3 cup salt- a pinch oil for frying
