    Way to check Romaine quality before purchase?

    Romaine lettuce is a staple in our house. My wife and I both prefer "Hearts of Romaine" that usually come in a three-pack, as opposed to a full leafy head, because we both prefer the "white parts" from lower on the head, because those parts are crispier, more water-laden, and more substantive...

    Breadless sandwich ideas

    One thing I've always loved is a tuna fish sandwich. Being that I need to watch my carb intake these days, I've found that tuna fish salad is an excellent topper for celery. It's not a sandwich per se, but it's a great substitute for a sandwich that allows me to eat one of my favorite sandwich...

    Advice for Crispier Deep-Fried Fritters?

    It is an electric deep fryer with the element raised an inch off the bottom, and it holds one gallon of oil, so you're right - not as large as a restaurant, but better than a Dutch oven on a stovetop. I have not tried tossing with flour before battering. The batter doesn't appear thin. It is of...

    Advice for Crispier Deep-Fried Fritters?

    That is sound logic, but since the restaurant is able to do it, I'm tormented knowing it can be done!

    Advice for Crispier Deep-Fried Fritters?

    The recipe calls for wheat flour, so that's what I've used. Does rice flour change the taste? Never used it before... The recipe for the fritters is: 10 Tbsp flour 2tsp salt 1/2 tsp turmeric powder 4 Tbsp corn starch Two Serrano chilis de-stemmed & minced 2 tsp minced ginger 4 fat cloves of...

    Advice for Crispier Deep-Fried Fritters?

    From what I've read, baking powder will release Co2 when it is heated, basically leavening the batter by sending bubbles to the exterior and quickly forming a crust. That was the effect I was hoping the beer would have, but it make very little difference. I will definitely try to bring the...

    Advice for Crispier Deep-Fried Fritters?

    I have let the cauliflower dry in a colander, but I've never gone as far as to pat it dry. One other thing I could definitely do is let some of the juices from the ginger, chilis, and garlic drain into a paper towel before adding it to the batter. I might lose a little of the flavor, but it's...

    Advice for Crispier Deep-Fried Fritters?

    I make a delicious Indo-Chinese deep-fried cauliflower dish. The flavor of the recipe is even better than our favorite restaurant, but when I make it, the batter does not crisp-up, and instead is thin, and more like a coating. When we eat it at the restaurant, the fritters are crispy and more...
