First clean the squid and slice it into rings and then drain it nicely
Grind all the ingredients( except oil and squid) into smooth paste using a mixer grinder.
Marinate the squid in that paste.
Keep it aside for at least 15 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan and add marinated squid and curry leaves. Now add little water in it and cook covered for 5 minutes for the flavors to infuse. Open and cook for another 10-15 minutes while stirring occasionally.
Add lemon juice and mix well. Have this scrumptious squid roast with appam, roti or even rice.
