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!

Happy Vishu to all my friends and Readers! How is the Vishu Sadhya planning coming along for everyone? For all my Malayalee friends who are planning to celebrate this joyous festival, I am sharing a guide to preparing an easy  and tasty Sadhya. Vishu celebrations are real nostalgia, the fully blossomed Kani Konna trees (Cassia fistula), Vishu Kani, new clothes, and Sadhya. Vishu Kani is beautifully arranged the night before, and the sight you see on the morning of the New year brings luck throughout the year.

Mambazham Pulissery/Mango and Spiced Yogurt Curry

Mambazha Pulissery/Mango and Spiced Yogurt Curry Mambazham/ Mango Pulisherri is a sweet and spicy curry made with ripe sweet mangoes. It is an old-fashioned recipe still made and served in many homes in Kerala. Whenever I get ripe mangoes, I cannot resist making mambazham pulisherri. It is absolute comfort food and goes well with steamed rice. Cooked mangoes are mixed with cumin flavored yogurt to make this delicious curry. There is a beautiful balance between the sweetness of mangoes and the sourness of spiced yogurt. The heat is from the green chilies and red chili powder and the earthiness from turmeric, fenugreek seeds, and cumin. Does it sound simple? And yes, it is a simple curry. If you are on a time crunch, this is a perfect recipe for you. Pulisheri is the most common yogurt-based dish in Kerala cuisine. Pulisheri is made both with vegetables and fruits.  Ripe sweet mangoes make delicious curries like pulisherri, pachadi, or manga curry with coconut paste. Freshl...
