Ingredients

  • 1 lb calamari cleaned thoroughly
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 1 cup finely chopped onions
  • 3 tbsp Goan recheado masala
  • 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp lime juice

Instructions

  • Wash the calamari well, especially the pockets. Slice it into half-inch rings and chop the tentacles. Keep aside in a bowl.
  • In a pressure cooker, heat oil over medium-low heat. Sauté onions until translucent.
  • Add recheado masala, and sauté well over medium heat stirring continuously until the masala leaves the oil (about 4 minutes).
  • Add the chopped calamari tentacles and cook for another 2 minutes on medium heat.
  • Now add the calamari rings and cook for another 2 minutes. Cover the pressure cooker with the lid and pressure cook on medium heat for 5-6 whistles. Once the pressure has stabilized, open the cooker and check if the calamari is done, if not pressure cook for another 2 whistles. Don't overcook it as it may turn rubbery.
  • Now add salt, sugar and lime juice. Stir everything well and let it simmer on low heat for another 5 minutes or until desired consistency of the curry.

Notes

This may be done in a normal pot as well but may take longer. Keep the pot covered over medium heat and keep checking every few minutes, stirring in between.
