It has been a while since we last had calamari /squids. Daddy loves it deep fried and crispy instead of cooking them in curry . I took out 3 medium size calamari and cut them into rings. I have some panko bread crumbs in the pantry so I decided to have them deep fried with this panko crumbs. I mixed the crumbs with some curry powder so as to give the panko crumbs some spicy flavor. It turned out crispy on the outside and juicy moist on the inside. The taste was awesome...spicy hot ...good match for the calamari. We can't eat much of this artery clogging morsels. Dip it with WASABI.....goodness I can't stop eating them !
I have to learn more on how to deep fry this pieces of calamari
unsightly but delicious...who cares as long as it taste good :))
and
I love wasabi...I really can't do without it :p

Hi Elin
ReplyDeleteI deeply appreciated that u replied to my email request so promptly :) Here is the feedback of those recipes that i hv tried:
1. pickled ginger which i just made is awesome! After soaking in vinegar it turns a lovely pick n i love the crunchiness. My vegetable seller advice is to get the Malaysian variety of young ginger (sweeter) rather than the Thai variety. I think a good quality of Jap rice vinegar is impt too.
Your fettucine aglio olio recipe is quick to prepare, healthy n yummy! Thumbs up from my family. I added chopped leeks cos leeks is so versatile. Before i dish up the piping hot pasta, some finely chopped garlic will be tossed in.
ReplyDeleteI baked my 1st chiffon cake using your dragon fruit chiffon recipe but substituted with orange juice/zest. You should see me smiling from ear to ear cos it turns out so beautifully n the taste is so refreshing :)))
Que Rico!! I love fried calamari!!
