About This Recipe
Squid is eaten in many English cuisines, and the culinary term calamari is frequently used for squid dishes. Squid can be prepared and cooked in a variety of ways. Fried squid is a popular dish in the Mediterranean. It is served with tartar sauce in Lebanon and Syria. It is sold in fish and chip shops in New Zealand, Australia, the United
States and Canada, and South Africa. In the United Kingdom, it is available in various establishments as Mediterranean & calamari or Asian salt and pepper fried squid, and is frequently served as a bar snack, street food, or starter.
Squid is eaten in coastal areas of India and Sri Lanka, such as Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Squid is deep fried (Koonthal Fry) or roasted (koonthal varattiyathu/Roast). It is known as koonthal, kanava, or kadamba in Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

Ingredients for Village Style Squid Curry Recipe :
Tamarind Pulp :
Tamarind pulp is a thick tamarind extract. To make tamarind pulp at home, soak the tamarind pods in warm water for about 15-20 minutes, or until soft.
Shallots:
Shallots are a little sweeter than regular onions and have a more subtle flavor. They are good used in raw applications where you want an onion flavor without too much punch, such as in salads and vinaigrettes, , or in slow roasted or braised dishes, where their sweetness can enhance a dish without watering it down.
Green Chilli :
The green chillies in cooked or raw form give a fiery hot flavor. To reduce the fiery hot flavor the seeds and inner membranes could be removed which is effective at reducing the heat of the pod.
I hope you will love it as much my hubby did..Try it and tell me how it turned out.

I noticed that when you blended the masla for grinding, it went in the blender dry but it is actually wet, did you add water? Also, how much water is being added to this recipe altogether. This looks so yummy I cant wait to try it.

Thanks Aarthi. Quick Question - Boiling the squid till oil separates won't overcook the squid and make it rubbery ?
