Spicy Fried Calamari
- 250 grams fresh calamari, cut into 1/2 cm rounds (reserve the tentacles)
- 1 teaspoon chilli powder (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 1/4 teaspoons rice flour
- 1 teaspoon corn flour
- 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
- Coconut oil, for frying
- Lime/lemon wedges, to serve
- Wash the calamari and pat dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
- In a bowl, mix together the chilli powder, pepper, turmeric powder, rice flour, corn flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Taste and adjust seasoning at this stage before it goes on the calamari; coat the rings and tentacles with this spice rub.
- Deep fry the calamari in batches until golden, and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with lime/lemon wedges.
