According to my friends, it's fried in a salted egg batter with curry leaves...an oriental recipe. But oh so lovely. And now the only way I eat squid is deep fried in batter. No rubber-y chewing :D Thanks for the recipe btw!

Until an experience 10 years ago. Since then, I keep cleaned rings in the freezer. I was very upset when Trader Joe's in my area quit stocking the frozen rings, but I found another store that carries them. I just picked some up this weekend. I season my fried calamari with Tony Chachere's and serve it with a garlic lemon aioli.

Calamira, sauteed --- boiled --- raw, would it taste nearly as good? I still have to wonder: Is it really the calamari that we love, or is it the deep-fried spicy batter?

I have not found another who shares my insane love of deep fried squid. I don't deep fry anything at home so the only time I can get this is when I am out, and not with my husband. He doesn't want to see me eating tentacles. *sigh* I would love some right about now. I am a FIEND about calamari and have often been the only one indulging when it’s on an appetizer platter.

Why are you torturing me like this? My leftover roasted chicken lunch can't possibly alleviate the massive craving for fried calamari that's now taken hold of me! This is so making my mouth water.
