Nah - close to a window with a Samsung S8 and a quick levels adjust.

Recipe for the chickpeas?

It's the cooking them from scratch that makes it - so much nicer than out of a can. It's always different, this was:

Into the instantpot:
chickpeas, chilies, onion, tomato, random curry spice, homemade hot sauce, salt.

Served with cheese that was lightly stirred through and put under the grill for a few minutes. Heavy drizzle of coconut oil, olive oil, mango hot-sauce, soft egg and some microgreens.

We had a very ripe avo to eat before it went to waste, so decided on some shrimp and coleslaw to go along with it. Added some spring onion to the coleslaw and was pretty good

@JSparrow

Calamari rings (or I cut from tubes if I have).
Breadcrumbs using slightly stale (few days old) bread made in food processor (or buy breadcrumbs).
Mix spices into breadcrumbs (fish spice, chili powder, salt, black pepper - or lemon pepper instead of fish spice) according to taste - any other spices you like with calamari or fish.
I let the calamari marinate in buttermilk for an hour or two before I cook (I believe it makes it tender, use it for meat as well at times).
Cake flour.
Eggs.

To cook...
Rinse calamari and let drip dry in a colander.
Heat up oil in a large saucepan (Not deep oil, just enough to almost cover a calamari ring lying flat).
Cover rings in flour.
Dip in egg (make sure it is properly dipped, some of the flour will wash off, not a problem).
Cover in breadcrumb mix.
Fry a few at a time till golden brown, take out and rest on paper towel to absorb most of the oil.
Do not fry for too long.

I often make a mayo and chili dip, or else lemon butter to go with.

I find flat baking trays with large surface area work best for the flour and crumbs.
