Instructions to Prepare Calamari Rings
- It does not take long to prepare the batter for Calamari Rings so before getting the batter ready it is important to wash the rings and let them sit in a strainer so the extra water drains out.
- Now start preparing the batter. To prepare the batter, take one cup of all purpose flour and pour it on a plate. Add a pinch of black pepper powder to it as well, so it may taste better. Then in another bowl, beat two eggs and add salt. Then mix them well. To make them crispier, in a third bowl take bread crumbs and add dried rosemary and thyme to enhance its flavor and aroma. Also, we love to make our own bread crumbs. Take two slices of bread and blend them to crumbs in a blender.
- As the batter is done. Take the calamari rings, ½ inch wide, and roll them one by one, firstly in the all purpose flour, then beaten eggs, and lastly in the crumbs.
- Since, the batter comes off quite easily when we fry the rings. The foolproof way is to let them sit in the fridge for approximately thirty minutes.
- After the said time, take the rings out and start heating up vegetable oil in a deep frying pan. You can deep fry, or shallow fry the calamari rings, even you can air-fry Calamari rings. They taste heavenly in all shapes and sizes.
- Anyways, when the oil has heated up, start putting the rings in it on medium high flame. Fry each side no more than one and half minutes. Meaning, each ring will take three minutes on the whole. Do not let them fry more than that or they will taste rubbery other than crispy.
- Dish them out on a tissue paper spread on a plate and let it absorb the excess oil. If you want to make them look ever appetizing, garnish with cilantro, dried thyme and oregano, green chilies or green onions. Exhibit your artistic side with your food and make it presentable.
- Lastly, serve them with French fries, popcorns, and Dingolay Gourmet Hot Sauces.
