Stuffed Squids in Curry

This dish was prepared a few days ago.
As I was only cooking for two, only 3 squids were cleaned after removing the ink pouch and the mouth.

I stuffed the cleaned squids with the filling made as follows:

Sliced onions and garlic were sauteed in a little hot cooking oil and cubed potatoes, carrots, arrow head, and some sliced celery were added and fried until cooked. During the course of the cooking I added a few curry leaves and powdered black pepper and a pinch of salt. The filling was allowed to cook before being stuffed into the squid.

Meantime the curry was prepared using fish curry powder as below:

Some sliced shallots, garlic and ginger were sauteed in hot cooking oil. A few curry leaves,a stick of cinnamon, 3 cloves and 1 star anise was then added, followed by 3 tabsp of curry powder and stir fried on low heat. 1/2 cup of coconut milk was added to the curry and stirring was continued before adding about a cup of water, some tamarind juice and a pinch of salt.

As the curry boils, the stuffed squids were added and let to cook for about 5 minutes. The stuffed squid curry was eaten with white rice, fish asam pedas and mixed vegetables.
