Step by Step Method
Step 1
Cut squid into 5mm rings, pat dry with paper towel.
Step 2
Sift flour and curry powder into a large ziplock bag and add mineral water, whisk to form a smooth batter.
Step 3
Heat oil in a large heavy based saucepan over high heat (oil is ready when a cube of bread crisps quickly without absorbing any oil) - I would use my electric deep fryer heated to 180C.
Step 4
Dip squid into batter, deep fry, in batches, for 2 minutes or until cooked and drain on paper towel.
Step 5
Can serve with lime or lemon wedges if desired.
Step 6
CLEVER CHINESE VARIATION - Omit the curry powder and add 2 teaspoons of Chinese five-spice powder instead.
Step 7
MOROCCAN MAGIC VARIATION - Omit the curry powder and add 1 tablespoon of Moroccan seasoning instead.
Step 8
THAI-RIFFIC VARIATION - Omit the curry powder and add 2 tablespoons of red curry paste instad.
