Batter to Coat


This was what i did with my brinjal/eggplant..semi-tempura style.Posted by Picasa

Basically..batters are fairly simple to make, it's a just add anything when you don't want to be fussy. And i never measure the amounts of flour i use etc..just to your own discretion.

For this, i wanted to create a tempura but instead, i just surfed around and get little tips from here and there and i came out with my own.

Ingredients
1. Plain Flour - i sifted mine
2. Cornflour - i don't know if it was really needed, i just put a little
3. Egg - not compulsory, but gives a very good taste
4. Ice cold water
5. Salt and pepper to season - i would say to use a fairly bigger then usual amount, cause if you don't marinate the food you're gonna dip it in, then you want the batter to contain the salt that adds to the taste.

Put all together in a bowl just before dipping. Make sure the oil is hot to reduce the absorption of oil into your food when deep frying.

For thosed loose batter that come off whilst frying..don't throw them away..they taste really good..but definely not for the health conscious!

Enjoy!!
