Directions
Curried Calamari1. Put the flour, spices and salt and pepper into a medium bowl and mix well.
2. Dry the squid with a paper towel and then cut the body crosswise into 1/4-inch rings. Put the rings into the flour mixture and coat them well.
3. Heat oil in a large skillet and fry the coated squid for 1-2 minutes, until golden brown. Do not overcook them as they will become tough and rubbery. Drain on a paper towel-lined tray and sprinkle with some salt. Serve with Toasted Garlic Cilantro and Mint Chutney (see recipe).
Cilantro and Mint Chutney1. Pour oil in a small saucepan over medium heat and add garlic and garam masala. Cook for 1 minute. Let cool slightly and put into a food processor along with the cilantro, mint, lemon juice, water, salt and pepper and pulse until smooth. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
