Thank you for the squid recipe. it came out really well!
Hello! I discovered your blog while looking for a recipe for spicy squid. I couldn't follow yours exactly because I didn't have all the spices at home, but you explain all the instructions so clearly and easily that I risked an incomplete version. My husband wants to try the real one another day :)
You have an excellent blog, will susbcribe and try more recipes, this time hopefully with all the correct spices!
Nia : glad to read your comment :) Do try this recipe and others too.
I am keying in this comment after a meal of this wonderful preparation. It came out perfectly as I followed the recipe to a T. I added just one step. I lightly roasted the marinating spice mix to eliminate any potential raw taste. Your instruction specifying cooking the squid covered on a low flame until the water evaporates helps, since I know one has to either cook squid for a very short time (couple of minutes) or for over half an hour to render it soft. Thank you!
Pravin : Oh wonderful ! glad you enjoyed this dish and thank you for the feedback :)
