Cooking Instructions
Prepare the Squid
In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Coat the Squid
Dredge the squid rings in the flour mixture until evenly coated. Shake off the excess flour.
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).
Fry the Squid
Carefully add the coated squid rings to the hot oil in batches. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain and Serve
Remove the fried squid with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with chopped green chilies and serve with lemon wedges.
