This is a small dish that was prepared by the chefs on a hotplate in front of you while you waited so you can imagine how quick it should take to cook once the ingredients are prepared. Their version was quite chillitastic and may even of had some ginger. Experiment.
2-3 small squid prepared washed and cut in to rings and tentacles in to 1-2" lengths
Finely sliced shallot or 2
1 garlic clove finely chopped
1-2 desertspoons of light curry powder (preferably homemade)
Chilli powder or fresh red chilli
1 good teaspoon paprika
4 tablespoons yoghurt
Pinch salt to taste
In a hot frying pan heat a light oil and quickly fry the squid, shallot, chilli if fresh and add in the garlic when half cooked. When all slightly coloured and nearly cooked add the curry powder, paprika and chilli powder if using it and cook out the raw powderiness, if that's a word.
While still on the heat add the yoghurt and toss everything together until combined. Season.
Serve as a snack, starter or as part of a main course. Also good with prawns or firm fish either with or instead of the squid.
