Instructions
- To make the tempura batter, mix half a cup of flour with water,baking powder, paprika, garlic granules, half a teaspoon of salt and a good pinch of ground pepper.
- Mix well to get a smooth thin paste, if needed, pas it through a sieve to break down any lumps formed. Add a bit more water if too thick.
- Season the ground chicken with salt and pepper, and shape into balls.
- Add the other half a cup of flour to a bowl, coat the chicken balls with flour, shaking off any excess.
- Next, dip the balls into the tempura better, and coat well.
- The final step is to coat the balls with crushed cornflakes (add the cornflakes to a blender and blitz to get rough pieces, or add to a bag and crush with a rolling pin).
- Heat up the oil in deep pan over a medium high heat, and fry the chicken balls until golden brown.
- Remove from the pan, and arrange on a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb the excess oil.
