1 x 800 g frozen calamari heads, thawed and rinsed. Drain on paper towel.
Must be dry. Available from Checkers. If you can get fresh even better.

In a flat square dish add 2 cups cake flour.

Add the following spices:
2 tbsp dried parsley
Sprinkle of aromat
2 tbs paprika spice
2 tsp garlic and herb seasoning
2 tbsp Louisiana Cajun spice
Salt
Black pepper
1/2 tsp Cayenne pepper
Give it a stir

Dip calamari heads in flour shake off any excess.
In a large saucepan heat vegetable oil for deep frying. Fry calamari in small batches to keep the temperature of the oil constant. Dont cook too many at once. Fry for about 3 mins until you see them browning. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with paprika spice
I kept them in a warm oven 75 C cover with tin foil as you finish frying the batches. Serve with garlic aioli dip.
