Squid / Kanava is one of the seafood that is majorly loved by all seafood eaters. Since am fond of squid, I always prefer to buy squid whenever I see them in the fish markets. It goes amazing with hot plain rice, roti or chapati.
I have made this squid roast a bit spicy one with semi-gravy consistency. You can either make them as a dry roast or a semi-gravy one. Both will taste absolutely yummy. The pre-preparation process in the squid is very simple. Just add a tsp of turmeric powder and half lemon juice to it. Mix them well and rest them for half an hour. Meanwhile, you can chop the onions and tomatoes. So give a try at this delicious Squid Roast and let me know how it turns out for you.
