Wash and remove ink sac from squid. Put tamarind juice, dried shrimp paste, sugar, salt, tamarind skin, shallots and lemon grass into a pot. Bring to the boil then add red and green chillies. So after cutting up the squid, marinate them in tamarind, tho I don't really think u need to add water as the recipe stated because squid can get a little watery anyway. Make sure by this stage you've popped the ink sac.
