Kari Sotong

Ingredients:
1 lb squid (cleaned)
1 tomato (cut into wedges)
1 can coconut milk (5.6 oz. can)
4 hard-boiled eggs (shell peeled)
4 tablespoons Baba's fish curry powder
1 teaspoon spice mix (halba,biji sawi,jintan putih & jintan manis )
1 sprig curry leaves (discard the stem)
2 cups water
2 tablespoons cooking oil
4 bawang merah (sliced thinly)
1 tablespoon chili oil
Salt to taste

Method:

Clean the squid and set aside. Heat up a pot with the cooking
oil and saute the shallots. As soon as you smell the shallots
aroma, add in the squid, curry powder, curry leaves, spice
seeds, and tomato wedges. Quick stir for 1 minute and dish
out the squid and set aside (to prevent over cooking the squid).
Add coconut milk,hard-boiled eggs, and water and bring the
curry to boil for 8 minutes. Add the squid back in and quick
boil for 1-2 minutes (before they shrink in size). Add chili oil
and salt to taste. Serve hot with steamed rice.
