3. Mix until you have a smooth batter.
4. Heat a few inches of oil in a deep pan, or use a deep fryer.

Notes

• The reel describes this as a very crisp, golden gluten-free batter.
• The original post does not give exact amounts for the garlic, chili, black pepper, or extra spices, so those are to taste.
• Because the Instagram metadata only exposed the caption-level instructions, the method here is reconstructed into a normal home-cooking format.
