Garlic Squid
This Squid recipe is finger licking good!Soft and chewy calamari coated in spicy garlic and tomato based gravy is a must try!I just love that heavenly aroma it releases while cooking seafood!My most favorite is crab in this category!
But here other than prawns my hubby doesn’t eat any other seafood.So all these are occasional guests in my home that too when I’m craving.We used to buy fish for kids, that’s all!Riz used to have squid first, but nowadays stopped that too, how sad!So the advantage here is if I buy 1/2 kg will cook all at once, then me and Kashif just sit and finish it all!He too has same taste like his pappa, not too much fond of all these, but he ate this one!
The recipe is very simple,I had it with chapathi and the combination was killer!Hopping to the recipe!
