Ingredients

To Pressure Cook:

  • 300 gms Squid | Calamari
  • ½ tsp Pepper Powder
  • tsp Turmeric powder
  • ½ tsp Ginger Garlic paste
  • ¼ tsp Salt
  • ¼ cup Water

To Grind:

  • ½ cup Grated Coconut tightly packed

Instructions 

  • In a pressure cooker add in 300gms of cleaned squid. To this add in Pepper powder, Salt, and Turmeric powder.

Mix well and pressure cook for 1 whistle in high flame. Wait for the pressure to release on its own and then open the cooker.
  • In a blender add in Grated coconut, to this add Garlic pods, Green Chilli, Pepper powder.
  • Also add Turmeric powder and grind it to a coarse paste. Set it aside and heat a kadai with Oil. I have used Coconut Oil.
  • Once the oil gets hot add in Mustard seeds and Cumin seeds. Let it splutter. Next, add in the curry leaves.
  • Add in 1 finely chopped onion, Saute till it gets glossy.
  • Next add in the squid along with the water. Cook in a medium flame until the masala gets thick.
  • Next add in the ground coconut paste. Give a good mix and cook for another 2 mins in a low flame.
  • Finally add in the required salt and mix well. Cook for 1 more min. Drizzle in 1 tsp of coconut oil mix well and switch off the flame. Squid Aviyal is now ready to be served.
