Ingredients

  • 500 g cleaned squid rings
  • 80 g rice flour
  • 40 g cornflour
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 0.5 tsp chilli powder
  • 500 ml vegetable oil for frying
  • 1 lime, juiced

Method

  1. 1

    Mix the rice flour, cornflour, ground turmeric and chilli powder in a bowl with a pinch of salt.

  2. 2

    Toss the squid rings in the flour mixture until well coated, shaking off the excess.

  3. 3

    Heat 4cm of vegetable oil in a wok to 180C.

  4. 4

    Fry the squid in batches for 2 minutes only, until crisp and golden and just opaque all the way through - longer will toughen it.

  5. 5

    Drain on paper towel and squeeze over the lime juice before serving with steamed rice.
