It is usual we get dull after whole non-ending weekday chores. And we feel to sit and relax with a loved one at weekends. So it’s better to do easy and timesaving recipes. So how about a scrumptious Squid coconut fry recipe or calamari coconut fry recipe. It is tantalizing with the aroma of fresh coconut and squid. If you’re wondering how this recipe came to me..... it’s an old story. When I was a child we lived in an apartment.The most interesting part of my life. As we lived In a community we could find All types of people with different religion, caste, Culture, etc Living under one roof. In other words, we can say unity in diversity. In my flat, there was Hindus-Tamil Brahmins, Kannada Brahmins, Nairs, Muslims and Christians. All are different in the way they dress, talk, cook, eat, etc.
One of our neighbour was Naseema aunty, who was excellent in cooking especially seafood. Her Culinary skill makes me adore her. This recipe is the remake of her Squid coconut fry which is a Malabari dish.

Sometimes I wish if I was in Italy. Not because I didn’t like my Gods own country, but for the simplicity of cooking. Most of the Italian dishes takes only minutes to prepare. But in Kerala you know for lunch normally we have to spend one or two hours in the kitchen. Sometimes I feel lazy to spend so many hours for breakfast, lunch, evening snack and dinner.
This spaghetti I tasted from a restaurant in Italy. My son Kris’s godparents are Italian Nicola and Mina. So Our kumbari’s are Italian. This restaurant is owned by Mina’s mother Luciana who is in her 80’s who still cooks in her restaurant. The dish was super delicious as it’s cooked in a traditional way by Luciana. It contained all the flavors added.
Italian dishes are simple yet elegant.
