Instructions to make Squid heads in coconut gravy:
  1. Wash the squid heads. There is a small beak-like thing that has to be squeezed out. Take those out. Squeeze a little and drain any excess water.
  2. Grind the coconut along with the spice powders, garlic, green chillies and a few curry leaves. Add a little water and make a thick smooth paste. Adjust number of green chillies according to your spice tolerance.
  3. Heat one tablespoon oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onions.
  4. After the onions have wilted, add the squid heads. Mix well. Add just enough water to cover.
  5. Cook covered for 5 minutes or till the heads are just done. Overcooking can make it rubbery.
  6. Lower the flame and add the coconut paste. Add tamarind, if using. Cook in a low flame till the raw smell goes off. This should be around 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off the stove.
  7. For the tempering, chop the shallot finely. You can use onions if you don't have shallots.

  9. Pour the tempering on the squid heads. Mix well and let it stay for a while before serving.

Once the onion is cooked, add the squid rings and the ground coconut. Cook in high heat till done, stirring occasionally. Pour in the coconut milk and allow it to simmer till dry. Add the coriander leaves and pepper powder. Mix well and remove it from the flame.
