Ingredients:

For 4 people
🕐 Preparation: 45 min.      🕐 Cooking: 15 min.
For the meal:
Squid (Frozen) 1 Package
For the Marination:
Sparkling Water 1 Bottle
Granulated Sugar 1 Tsp (large)
Carbonate 1 Tsp
Salt 1/4 Tsp
For the Roast:
Flour 3 Tbsp
Beer (Or Soda) 1 Cup
Sunflower Oil 2 Cup
For the Tarator Sauce:
Garlic (Planed) 2 Clove
Strained Yogurt 1 Tbsp
Stale Bread (Intra) 2 Slice
Walnut 2 Tbsp
Olive Oil 3 Tbsp
Lemon Juice 1 Tsp (large)
Salt 1/2 Tsp
Chili Pepper 1 Tsp

Instructions:

  1. If you don't want to use frozen products, you have to pre-process all the squid. Add soda, salt, baking soda and sugar to the squid you put in a deep bowl and rub until the squids are soft.
  2. Do not rinse the squids to make them soft.
  3. Cover the squid you have kneaded with cling film, if possible, take them to the refrigerator the night before and let them rest. If you are going to use frozen squid, it will be sufficient to rest it in the soda mixture for 1 hour.
  4. In a separate place, pass the walnut kernels and 2 cloves of garlic through the processor for the tarator sauce. Add the stale bread crumbs. Add salt, red pepper flakes, olive oil, lemon juice and strained yogurt and mix.
  5. Prepare a thick boza slurry by mixing 1 bottle of beer or soda with 1 teaspoon of baking soda, three tablespoons of flour and 1 teaspoon of salt for the squids.
  6. Take the oil in a deep bowl and heat it 5-10 minutes before serving.
  7. Remove the squids from the sauce you have kept and drain the excess water. Dip them in slurry one by one and fry them in hot oil until they turn pink and remove them on a paper towel and drain the excess oil.
  8. Take the crispy calamari out of the pan and serve hot, garnished with tarator sauce, arugula leaves and lemon slices. Enjoy your meal!
