👩‍🍳 Author: Puja Raghuvir Naik
🍽️ Servings: 3
⏱️ Cooking Time: 15–20 minutes

 

📝 Ingredients:

• Squids – cleaned and cut into rings
• Rava (semolina) – for coating
• 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 2 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp ginger-garlic paste
• Salt – to taste
• Oil – for frying

🔪 Method:

Prepare the Squid:
Wash and clean the squids. Cut them into ring pieces.

Marinate:
Marinate squid with salt, turmeric powder, ginger-garlic paste, and chili powder. Keep aside for 10–15 minutes.

Coat with Rava:
Roll the marinated squid pieces in rava (semolina) until well coated.

Fry:

Heat a pan without oil first (this prevents bursting, as squid releases water).
Add the rava-coated squid to the pan. After 5 minutes, drizzle oil around and over the squid.
Fry until golden brown on one side, then flip and fry the other side.

Cook Gently:
Cover with a lid for a few minutes to allow faster cooking. Do not overcook, as squid can turn chewy.

Serve:
Enjoy hot as a starter or with steamed rice.
