Details and Ingredients

Squid Roast is crafted by sautéing fresh squid with a fragrant blend of spices including red chili powder, turmeric, black pepper, and coriander, along with a generous amount of caramelized onions, ginger, and garlic. The dish is elevated with the addition of coconut slivers and a drizzle of coconut oil, imparting a nutty richness typical of Kerala cuisine. Slow-roasted to perfection, the squid absorbs the spices, resulting in a succulent texture with a crispy, flavorful coating.

Often garnished with curry leaves and green chilies, Squid Roast pairs beautifully with steamed Kerala red rice, parotta, or appam, making it a versatile and beloved dish. Its spicy, aromatic profile reflects the vibrant culinary traditions of Kerala’s coastal regions, perfect for seafood lovers seeking an authentic taste experience.
