Notes From the Method

Keep the batter thick enough to cling.

Dip the bread for a second only.

Fry in small batches to hold the oil temperature.

Serve while hot and crisp.

Ingredient Swaps

• Dried chilli flakes can stand in for the green chilli. Heat varies a great deal between chillies and between jars, so start with a small pinch and add more to taste.

Leftovers

Best eaten straight away. Reheat in a hot oven to crisp them again.
