Use for fish , chicken , vegetables , feta cheese or anything else you can come up with !

1 batch (change servings and units)

Ingredients

4 ounces plain flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1-2 green chilies, deseeded and finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
2/3 cup beer, approx
1 large egg white

Directions

1
Mix all the dry ingredients, add the oil and the beer.
2
If you have the time, cover and leave to stand for a few hours, this will improve the texture of the batter{not in the refrigerator} Just before you need it, beat the egg white stiff and fold it into the batter.
3
Whatever your choice of food, coat with flour first, dip in the batter, then deep fry.
4
You can leave out the spices for a plain batter and use water instead of the beer.
5
This is great for onion rings!

I liked this a lot. I don't drink beer because I don't care for the taste but in this it was great. I only used one green chili and it was the perfect amount of spice for me. The batter coated well too. This recipe is a keeper.

I made this today and although it coated the fish great and it turned out puffy and very light. I found that I didnt care for the taste. I think it was the beer in it.

We all loved it! 5-stars plus! I doubled the batter and added everything but the green chilies. It was enough for 8 tilapia filets and a decent batch of onion rings. The fish disappeared. The onion rings were a bigger hit. I bought a sweet onion, and my daughter and her friend were practically fighting over them! (ran out of batter, otherwise I would have made more) I'll definitely use this again - especially when Vidalia onions hit Wisconsin. Very easy and very good. Thanks!

This is an excellant batter for fried food, I will be using this one again for sure. I made it exactly as specified, only I did double it. I fried some zucchini, some mushrooms, and had a little batter left, so I tossed in some sliced onions too. This was really good stuff, the coating was very light, and just enough kick to make it interesting. Thanks for a great recipe!
