Ingredients
5 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced fine
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons paprika
2 cups flour
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
Corn oil or canola oil for deep frying
1 ½ pounds cleaned squid, cut in rings
Salt to taste
1 lemon, cut in wedges
Preparation
- Step 1
Mix the mayonnaise and the yogurt together in a small bowl. Stir in the jalapeno pepper, cumin and 1 teaspoon paprika. Refrigerate until ready to serve as a dip.
- Step 2
Mix the flour, remaining paprika and cayenne pepper together in a large bowl. Pour the oil to a depth of two inches in a large skillet or a wok, and begin heating it.
- Step 3
Put the squid rings and any tentacles in the flour mixture, and toss to coat and separate them. Shake off as much excess flour as possible.
- Step 4
Fry the squid pieces, a few at a time, until golden. Do not crowd them in the pan. As they are done, transfer them to absorbent paper, and continue frying until all have been cooked.
- Step 5
Dust with salt and serve at once with lemon wedges and the dip.
