Squid Roast

🇮🇳 Indian

Squid Roast tastes like the shoreline it came from — briny, fiery, finished with something sour. Ready in 40 minutes including prep.

Prep 20 min Cook 20 min Serves 3 Medium

Ingredients

  • Ginger Garlic Paste1 tbsp
  • Saltto taste
  • Turmeric Powder1/2 tsp
  • Curry Leaves2 sprigs
  • Red Chili Powder1 tsp
  • Squid400 g, cleaned rings
  • Coconut Oil2 tbsp
  • Black Pepper1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantroto finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Clean and pat the seafood dry; a 20-minute marinate in turmeric, chili and salt firms it up.

  2. 2

    Sear or fry the pieces briefly so they hold together in the gravy — do not cook them through yet.

  3. 3

    Build the masala in the same pan — onions, aromatics, tomatoes — until the oil separates.

  4. 4

    Return the seafood, add the liquid the name asks for, and simmer just until done — a few minutes over is all it takes to ruin it.

  5. 5

    Rest off the heat 5 minutes; seafood finishes in the pot.

Chef's tip

If the fish flakes at a tilt, it is done; stop there.
