This weekend, we thought of replicating one of our favourite dishes from the Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). While we agree, crispy chicken is the most popular food item at KFC, for vegetarians it's the crispy veg strips that win hearts. Succulent vegetables, coated with breadcrumbs, butter milk and a pool of spices and fried until crispy and brown, KFC veg strips spell indulgence. It is usually paired with cheese dip or hot sauce to experience a burst of flavours on your palate. Already slurping? So, what are you waiting for? Grab your cooking essentials and get going.
KFC-Style Crispy Veg Strips: How To Make KFC-Style Crispy Veg At Home:
A classic KFC-style crispy veg strip recipe involves both frying and baking methods. This can be a bit overwhelming for some, especially for a novice chef. Hence, to cut it short, we made some modifications in the recipe. Let's get started.
Get some carrots, peas, and potatoes. Alongside, you need buttermilk, breadcrumbs and a range of spices including paprika powder, garlic powder and more. If you can't find paprika powder, replace it with the regular red chilli powder.
Now, add some maida to the vegetables and knead a soft dough. Then cut strips out of it, coat in masalas and breadcrumbs and fry. We suggest, after frying for the first time, cool it down and fry again for added crispiness. The ones who are comfortable with baking, you can bake the veg strips after frying for the first time. That's it! You have a delicious batch of KFC-style crispy veg strips ready to be relished. Click here for the detailed recipe.
