Squid Chilly Fry....


Squid chilly fry is a very popular side dish in Kerala restaurants. Its one of the dish my dad  frequently used to order from our nearby hotel. Though I tried a lot of Squid fry recipes in the past, none of them were successful. Recently I came across another recipe of chilly fry in a local food magazine and I tried it same day. The preparation was a finger licking one and hence I thought of sharing the recipe with our friends here.
