Püf Noktaları
To achieve the perfect crunch, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the calamari. This prevents them from becoming soggy. It's also important not to overcrowd the pan while frying, as this can lower the oil temperature and result in less crispy calamari. For additional flavor, consider adding herbs like parsley to the flour mixture. Always serve calamari immediately to enjoy their best texture.
