Hey guys ! So my this recipe is dedicated to all squid lovers ;)
I recently got this Malwani masala and was dying to use it ! And then just in market when i saw squids it struck me . ... I knew what I wanted to do and I imagined how it wud taste .. and was very happy that it turned out exactly how i wanted. Very few dishes give you that satisfaction of exactly what you want :)
Ingredients:
10 Squids
1 bowl small prawns
2 medium onions finely chopped
1 potato finely chopped
1 tomato finely chopped
6-7 garlic pods finely chopped
2 green chillies finely chopped
1 tablespoon malwani masala
1 tsp turmeric powder
2 tsp red chilly powder
salt
Procedure:
Cleaning Squids and Prawns
Many people don't like to clean squids, don't worry you can get them cleaned in market. But those who intend to do it at home .. its very easy. Take a squid , now it has this tentacles and one fine flat bone buried kind if in its body. you can remove it with hand itself . Some people use this tentacles to stuff inside .. I dint do that way. So I got everything removed from the squid body leaving it like a conical shaped bag. Also there is a thin brownish layer on the skin which also was removed. You can then wash them once in water.
Now apply salt + 1 tsp turmeric powder+ 1 tsp red chilly powder + 1tsp malawani masala and keep this for minimum 2 hours. More you keep them marinated , less time they will take to cook as they will get more soft. If you are preparing it for dinner you can keep them in fridge.
Apply salt and 1 tsp turmeric powder to cleaned and washed prawns and keep for 20 min. Remember if prawns are big in size cut them short since we need to fill it inside squids.
Stuffing
Heat a pan on medium heat , add 1 tablspn of oil and add onions. Saute them till they go brownish( add little salt to make this process fast). Add finely chopped garlic and chillies and saute for a minute.
Then add chopped potato and tomato and cover and cook till potato is cooked and tomatoes turn soft. Now add all the masala powder mentioned above in ingredients (i.e. haldi , red chilly powder , malwani masala). Last add prawns , salt and cover & cook for 2-3 minutes as prawns get cooked very quickly.
Remove it from heat and let it cool .
Now stuff the squids with this filling keeping little space on top. Insert a toothpick as if you are stitching the mouth of squid.
You can see how toothpick is inserted in below pic

Now deep them in rava and shallow fry on low heat. While frying remember not to fry for long as they can get very chewy.
Add 2 tablspoon oil in a frying pan, put squids in pan , cover n cook for 1 minute. Now remove the lid and cook for 1 minute. Now turn the squids and again cover and cook for 1 minute. Remove the llid and cook for 1 minute. Then turn them sideways and cook for 1 more minute. Thats it ! :D
Fried squids ready !
