Indian Squid and Tofu Curry

[a_boleyn]

I had about 200 gms of pineapple cut squid in my freezer and no idea what I wanted to do with it. I knew what I DIDN'T want to make - anything Italian and involving a marinara sauce - but the alternative choices were more difficult. I settled on a curry but again ran into a problem. What KIND of curry: Chinese, Indian, Japanese or Thai

This curry looks delicious, I never realised squid and tofu would go well together but obviously! :D
Beautiful colour as well!

Thank you. I figured tofu would pick up the flavours of the curry and the firm kind has a similar texture to the squid so they'd work together.

Squid is not something that I've ever cooked - do you have to be careful with it ( i.e. not overcooking)?

;'[pppppppppppppppp (p Pyewacket says hi)

This looks tempting!

I've had squid that was nice and tender and squid that was chewy due to being overcooked so I can't say that I'm any expert at it. I'd follow whatever recipe you find on the package you buy. A few minutes at high heat is advised.

She's sound asleep now on the bed with the other two and TBG. I, OTOH, am playing catch up!

I got up late (daylight savings time and I went to bed at 3am) to find we actually had SUN. It's been raining forever. So, I ran the errands today that I didn't yesterday ... Costco and then the city market. A quick lunch of liverwurst on a bakery bun, orange juice and coffee and I'm reading my email too.

I planned on doing a dessert/s with leftover plums, raspberries and the danish dough that I thawed yesterday. Wish me luck that it gets done.

Sorry I missed it (I was on long holidays) and sorry it didn't work, but I'm not surprised... Garam masala contains spices which produce not only a different colour, but different flavours... I have always stuck to the spices listed in Indian recipes because somehow I feel a new one could spoil the results... The beauty of Indian curries are the different combination of spices, this is probably why some Indian despise the British invention of curry powder so much... I hope you will be able to make it in the future with the spices listed by R. Stein and that you will like it! Sissi (http://www.withaglass.com)

In retrospect, I should have known better. I'll have to try again one day. Thank you for visiting and the comment.
