Method

Preparation of Garlic

  1. 1

    Peel and Slice Garlic

    Peel the garlic cloves and slice them thinly. Set aside in a bowl.

Batter Preparation

  1. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 3

    Add Water

    Gradually add water to the dry mixture while whisking until a smooth batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to coat the garlic slices.

Frying

  1. 4

    Heat Oil

    In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  2. 5

    Coat Garlic

    Dip each slice of garlic into the batter, ensuring they are fully coated.

  3. 6

    Deep Fry Garlic

    Carefully add the coated garlic slices to the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-4 minutes per batch.

  4. 7

    Drain Excess Oil

    Once the garlic slices are cooked, remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Sprinkle the fried garlic with chopped parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
