which is the recommended method?
shallow frying takes more time to cook, the food remains in oil for a longer time. And hence, the absorption of oil is more. You will notice the food to be greasy.
On the other hand, deep fried items will have very little oil on them, if proper technique is used. If the temperature of the oil is correct, and maintained throughout the frying process, the food gets cooked evenly. And here, only the surface of the food meets the oil.
Shallow frying means cooking food in oil with a depth that reaches about half of the thickness of the food with the food touching the bottom of the pan all throughout. Deep frying means cooking food in oil deep enough to cover it to allow the food to float in the oil. Deep frying is done with double that.
