In a bowl, add chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt, thinly sliced onion, curry leaves, green chilli and 1 tbsp oil.

Mix well with hand.

Add washed and drained squid/ koonthal pieces. Marinate to about 1 hour.

Heat 3-4 tbsp oil in a pan, add the marinated squid pieces.

Low the flame and stir occasionally till it gets cooked.

Don’t deep fry it. If shallow fried you will get all the masala coated on squid.

Switch off the flame when it is cooked and the masala gets coated on it.
