Curried Squid

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs fresh cleaned squid
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon coriander seeds
• 1 teaspoon chilli powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 10 curry leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
• 4 garlic cloves
• 1/2 inch piece of ginger, grated
• 1 can coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons lime juice

Preparation:

Cut the squid into 3/4 inch rings

Place a small frying pan over low heat and dry roast the cumin until aromatic. Remove, then dry roast the coriander. Grind both into a fine powder with the chili and turmeric. Mix the spices with the squid.

In a heavy frying pan, heat the oil and add garlic, curry leaves, fenugreek, ginger, and coconut milk. Bring slowly to a boil. Add the squid, then stir well. Lower heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until squid is cooked and tender. Stir in lime juice, season, and serve.
