Step : You will need…

  • 16 medium calamari, (clean, with heads)
  • 1 mango, cut into strips
  • 1 bunch of coriander
  • 10 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 3 tbsp siracha, (spicy chilli sauce, found in Asian markets)
  • 100 g flour
  • 200 g finely ground corn flour, (semolina)
  • 1 ltr vegetable oil
  • 1 tbsp fine salt
  • 1 chopping board
  • 1 knife
  • 1 bowl
  • 2 trays
  • 2 spoons
  • kitchen paper
  • 1 deep-sided saucepan
  • 1 slotted spoon
  • 1 strainer

Step 1: Prepare the calamari

Cut all 16 of the calamari into 1.5cm pieces and put them to one side.

Step 2: Mix the flours

Into the bowl mix the ground corn flour (semolina) and the flour.

Step 3: Make the spicy mayonnaise

Add the siracha to the mayonnaise and mix well (if you do not like spicy sauces, minimise the amount of siracha).

Step 4: Heat the oil

Pour the vegetable oil into the deep-sided saucepan and heat over a high temperature.

Step 5: Coat the calamari and strain

Mix the calamari in the flour mixture until all of the pieces are evenly covered. Using a sieve, strain the excess flour.

Step 6: Fry the calamari and season

Check that the oil is hot enough to fry the calamari by testing one piece (it should fry immediately). Fry the calamari until golden-brown (just under 2 minutes) in small batches and transfer to a paper towel. Season with fine salt.

Step 7: Assemble the salad and serve

On a serving plate begin to assemble the salad - spoon a thick line of spicy mayonnaise around the plate and in the middle add the calamari, mango strips and coriander. Finish with some more calamari and serve with a slice of lemon.
