NOTES :
  1. You can add groundnuts or cashewnuts as per choice . In that case add the nuts during frying stage itself.
  2. Don't boil rice too mushy , mushy rice when mixing with coriander masala will become more mushy and will lose its flavour.

KADAMBA / KANAVA MASALA /SQUID FISH CURRY

Hi, Sea has lot of creatures in it that we can cook and we were much more unaware of many . Squid fish is one among the yummy species which I was totally unaware even after coming to Chennai.One day in market I saw them and surprised that they are selling octopus ( it looked like that to me :)).

Other than that the fish tastes heaven , spicy, yummy and very easy to cook. I have
