Dry the squid rings very well with paper towels.
Put half the flour on a separate plate, then whisk the remaining flour with the eggs, sparkling mineral water, salt, and black pepper.
Mix the yogurt and crushed garlic to make the serving sauce.
Heat the vegetable oil to about 175°C.
Dip the squid rings first in flour, then in the egg batter.
Fry the squid in batches for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden.
Drain the excess oil and serve immediately with lemon and garlic yogurt.
💡 Tip: Dry the squid very well before frying; wet rings thin the batter and make the oil splatter.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve calamares a la romana like a mezze plate with lemon, optional garlic yogurt, and green salad.
