Squid (Calamari) Coconut Masala can be made with or without red chilli powder. If you only like the taste of pepper then add a little more pepper & skip adding chilli powder. Vary the quantity of spices according to your wish, but this dish is better spicy. Make sure there is no water before adding coconut mixture. Eat with any bread, rice or snack on it.
