Noun
天婦羅 (hiragana てんぷら, katakana テンプラ, romaji tenpura)
- Alternative spelling of 天麩羅: tempura: a Japanese dish made from seafood, chicken, or vegetables dipped in batter and deep-fried
Usage notes
This spelling swaps out the 麩 character meaning wheat gluten in reference to the batter used in making tempura, for the more-common character 婦 of the same reading, but meaning wife.
