Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Squid

In a large bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

2

Coat the Squid

Dredge the squid rings in the flour mixture until evenly coated. Shake off the excess flour.

3

Heat the Oil

In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

4

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.

5

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.
