What each ingredient does

Cold cooked artichokes
Provide the main filling, with a tender interior once cut into thick slices.
Batter for frying
Forms a crisp, golden coating that browns in hot oil around the artichoke slices.

The step that matters

Frying in hot oil. If the oil is not hot enough, the batter absorbs more oil and turns greasy instead of crisp. Hot oil sets the batter quickly and drives off surface moisture, which gives the golden browning the recipe calls for.
