A tasty and a simple recipe for Squid fry.

Ingredients needed for Squid Fry
1 kilo squid
2 cups onions chopped
1 cup tomatoes chopped
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp jeera powder
2 tsps chilli powder
1 tsp Ginger paste
1 tsp Garlic paste
Handful Curry Leaves
oil as needed
Salt to taste

How to prepare Squid Fry?
Clean, wash  and drain squid well  and keep aside.
Mince  onions, tomatoes and keep  aside.
Heat oil in a non stick kadai (wok), fry the onions till they become transparent.
Add  ginger and garlic pastes and continue to fry on low heat for 2-3 mins, adding turmeric powder, and chilli powder as required. Mix well.
Now add jeera powder and continue to fry for a further 2-3 minutes.
Add tomatoes  and  fry till the tomatoes are soft and pulpy and the gravy is thicker.
You can add the squid now and there is no need to add the water as the squid will get cooked in its own juices.
As it starts to boil, cover with a lid and simmer for 5-8 minutes.
Serve hot with anything you fancy, like rice, chappathies, naans, pulaos or whatever. It will taste just as nice.

Points to Note:

If the squid is very tender and small,  it should get cooked earlier.  so adjust your time accordingly.

Do not cook it for a long time, remove the kadai from the fire as the squid gets tender otherwise it will get chewy .
