Noun

天婦羅 (hiragana てんぷら, katakana テンプラ, rōmaji tenpura)

1. 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.
