Squid Coconut Fry

Squid Coconut Fry

This recipe is two things: quick and easy. All the "wonderful flavors will have wrapped themselves around the squid culminating in the most appetizing of dishes" (yes really).

Ingredients:

  1. 300g SeasTheDay Squid tubes, chopped into thin rings
  2. 2 tbsp coconut oil
  3. 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
  4. 2 dried red Kashmiri chilies, halved and seeds removed if you like it less hot
  5. 10 pieces of thinly sliced fresh coconut or dried coconut slices
  6. 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  7. 1 tsp ginger paste
  8. 1 fresh green chili (2 if you like it hot)
  9. 10 curry leaves
  10. 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  11. 1/2 tsp salt
  12. 1/2 tsp chili powder
  13. 1/2 tsp coriander powder
  14. 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  15. 1/4 juice of a lemon
  16. 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  17. 1/4 garam masala

Directions:

  1. First get all the ingredients ready as the dish takes no time to cook and you will want to eat it immediately. This dish is not good to be reheated.
  2. Heat the coconut oil in a pan. When it is hot add the mustard seeds and red chilies followed by the thin coconut slices. Keep the heat on a medium to low heat.
  3. After 20 seconds add the garlic, ginger, fresh green chili and curry leaves.
  4. Move around the pan for a minute before adding the red onion and salt.
  5. Now add the chili powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder and allow the flavors to come together in the pan. Allow the onion to soften for 3-5 minutes
  6. Add the squid and move around the pan. Cook for a further 3 minutes.
  7. Add the lemon, pepper and garam masala. Move the ingredients around the pan.
  8. Serve immediately.
