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!
