    Tempura | Mixed Vegetable Tempura

    Tempura is one of my all time favourite appetizer. It is a plain fried snack which i made using either vegetables or seafood. You can use this batter to make chicken too.

    Tempura batter is super light and crispy unlike regular deep fried dishes. It is best served piping hot with some dipping sauce. Traditionally it is served with some soy sauce or vinegar dipping sauce. But I like mine with aioli or mayonnaise.

    "Making Tempura can be little tricky. There are few main steps in making which gives you crispy all the time".

    Here are the points which you have to keep in mind.

    1)Always keep the batter super cold. you can even add some ice cubes into the batter.

    2)Don't over mix the batter. The batter can be lumpy. Lumpy batter results in lighter crisp.

    3)Always dry the vegetables in paper towel before coating in cornstarch which keeps crisp texture.

    4)Cut vegetables in a way that there is more surface area. So you get crisp texture.

    5)Don't over crowd the oil, else it won't fry properly.

    6)Drain the tempura well so it doesn't get soggy. It is best to drain it in a wire rack.

    I SERVED  WITH WASABI MAYONNAISE.

    Frequently Asked Questions?

    1)What is Tempura?

    Tempura is a typical Japanese dish usually consisting of seafood, meat, and vegetables that have been battered and deep fried. 

    2)What vegetables are good for tempura?

    Sliced onions, Spring Onions, Carrots, Zucchini, Capsicum, Brinjal, Eggplant, Potato, Green beans, Spinach leaves are best

    3)Meat Option

    Prawns, Seafood, Chicken, Fish can be used.

    4)Why does tempura batter have to be cold?

    Cold water slows the development of gluten, and that allows the oil to get into and around the batter. That's also why you want the batter to be lumpy - you don't want to work it too much.

    5)What oil is best for tempura?

    Use vegetable oil for frying— corn, canola, safflower or peanut, but not olive oil. 

    4)Why is my tempura not crispy?

    Don't over mix the batter once flour is added. Also use cold water which gives crispy texture.

    5)Is vegetable tempura vegan?

    If you use just plain cold water and flour then the tempura batter can be vegan. There are many vegan recipes for tempura available. Check this prawn batter for vegan option.
