In a pressure cooker add in 300gms of cleaned squid. To this add in Pepper powder, Salt, and Turmeric powder.
Next add in Ginger garlic paste. Squid releases water while cooking, so it’s not necessary to add water while pressure cooking. But if you prefer you can add ¼th cup of water. 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.
