Ingredients :
• Avocado – 1
• Tempura butter
• 200 gm tempura flour/refined flour
• 15 gm rice flour
• 30 gm mayonnaise
• 240 ml sparkling water/chilled water
• 1.5 tsp salt
To Garnish :
• 1 gm chilly powder
• 1 gm white sesame seeds
• Oil to fry
Method :
• Take a nice ripe avocado (should be firm, not overripe) cut into thick slices.
• To make the batter, add all the ingredients and mix well with the whisk.
• Make sure that the water is chilled for the batter or chill the whole batter before frying (keeping it chilled will make the tempura crispy).
• Take the slices of avocado, dust nicely with flour, add them to the chilled batter and deep fry (oil for frying should be at ideal 185’c). Do not overcook the tempura. Just cook them for 1-2 minutes and take them out on a tray lined with paper to absorb the excess oil.
• Lastly, arrange the slices of tempura on a plate and garnish with chilly and sesame seeds.
