A spice heavy, crispy batter wrapped round crunchy, vibrant asparagus. Inspired by the Indian starter, you're gonna love these.

Method

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a medium large saucepan over a medium heat.
  • Mix together all the dry ingredients for the batter. Pour in the IPA, whisking until completely smooth.
  • Once the oil is hot (to test if it's hot enough, insert the end of a wooden spoon into the oil, bubbles should form around it) dip a few spears of asparagus into the batter together, coating fully before gently lowering into the oil. Fry until crisp and deeply golden, around 3 minutes. Fry in batches to avoid reducing the temperature of the oil then remove and place on a lined rack or colander to soak up excess oil.
  • Do the same with the coriander, dipping clusters it in the batter then frying until golden.
  • Whilst they fry, mix together all the ingredients for the mango chutney sauce.
  • What do you think of the recipe?
