Crumbed Calamari - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 pieces calamari, sliced into rings
    2/3 cup stale breadcrumbs
    salt
    pepper
    garlic powder
    1 egg
    1/4 cup milk
    oil (for deep frying)
    tartar sauce (for serving)
Preparation
    Mix the breadcrumbs with the salt, pepper and garlic powder and place into a plastic bag so you can shake the crumbs onto the calamari.
    Beat the egg and combine with the milk and place this into a small dish.
    Heat the oil up to 160C degrees.
    Dip the calamari rings individually into the egg/milk mix and then into the plastic bag and shake.
    The calamari should be well coated.
    Deep fry until a nice brown tinge. I tend to fry mine for about 4-5 minutes. It also depends on the calamari some it is better at a lower heat for longer. This rule especially applies to bought crumbed calamari.
    Enjoy.
    Serve with tartar sauce.
