KADAMBA / KANAVA MASALA /SQUID FISH CURRY

Then I surfed in net and found actually they are squid ( kadamba / kanava) and not octopus , My friend Saranya cooked this gravy for us during her visit to our home .I copied the recipe from her and tried next week itself.Though the squid fish looks very weird the taste was so yummy and there is no fish odor in that.It just tasted like mutton.

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