Preparation

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Step 5

    Dust with salt and serve at once with lemon wedges and the dip.
