Deep Fried Calamari




This deep fried calamari stays crispy for hours and easy to make. This dish can be a great side dish with white rice,fried rice or by its own. Dip into your favorite dipping and see it for yourself how fast the plate goes empty.

Tender inside and crunchy outside, i made this particular dish few times before and didn't get a chance to snap picture for blogging as the plate goes viral in a minute. My household enjoy the deep fried calamari with spicy chilly sauce dipping and shredded lettuce which, add the freshness to the dish.

In a bowl,combine together all purpose flour,cornstarch,rice flour and grounded black pepper. Mix well. Add in the calamari and mix well till the squid well coated with the flour mixture. Shake off excess flour mixture.

Fry the calamari in batches until golden approximately 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain excess oil.

Serve with your choice of dipping
