Squid Roast
Squid Roast tastes like the shoreline it came from — briny, fiery, finished with something sour. Ready in 40 minutes including prep.
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
Clean and pat the seafood dry; a 20-minute marinate in turmeric, chili and salt firms it up.
- 2
Sear or fry the pieces briefly so they hold together in the gravy — do not cook them through yet.
- 3
Build the masala in the same pan — onions, aromatics, tomatoes — until the oil separates.
- 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
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.
