KARI ASSAM SOTONG
SQUID TAMARIND CURRY
This evening, we are cooking squid assam curry. The cheatin' way. We're just gonna use a ready-mix assam paste, and add the other ingredients in. :D Once in a blue moon, You cheat, who's to know, huh? :D Actually, we'd like to do the curry from scratch, but this evening, we don't have the time to go through all the blending and what not.
3 Simple Steps :
1. Saute Ingredients.
2. Add Tamarind Paste.
3. Add Squid.
A very simple dish to prepare. Try it.
The Ingredients.
onions, ginger, garlic, tamarind paste, chillies, lady's fingers, tomatoes, squid, lime
1. Saute Ingredients.
Saute garlic, onions and ginger until fragrant.
2. Add Tamarind Paste.
Normally, You'd want to dissolve the tamarind paste in some water, discard the seeds and just retain the water to add into the curry. Problem is, we couldn't find the small strainer. So we're just gonna add the whole tamarind paste in, seeds and all.
Then, add the read-mix assam paste.
Add water. Add seasalt.
3. Add Squid.
Add the rest of the ingredients.
Ta--dahhh! Oh Yum-Yum!
Step aside, my good forks and spoons.
Wash your hands. :D
We are having the squid curry with white rice.
Hmmmm, the curry is tantalizingly-SOUR
and absolutely delicious!!!
