Tips & Secrets

- The addition of rice flour is the absolute secret to achieving a shatteringly crisp outer crust.
- Removing the seeds and inner ribs provides a more and aesthetically pleasing look to the sliced rings.
- Always fry on medium heat to allow the capsicum to soften slightly while the batter achieves a golden color.
