Deep-Fried Broad Beans (Fava Beans)

I happened upon these in a local Asian grocery store and fell in love. My first batch was seasoned with cheese (sort of nachoish!) and the next, with garlic. This basic recipe hails from http://www.uktvfood.co.uk/ and I haven't tried it yet, therefore cook time is an estimate.
