Shallow Fry the Squid (8-10 minutes)
Drain and Serve (2 minutes)
Add 1 teaspoon of green chilli paste to the marinade along with the other spices for an extra kick of heat.
Mix 2 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh coriander leaves into the rava and rice flour mixture for a fresh, herby flavor.

Squid contains heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce inflammation, support brain health, and lower the risk of chronic diseases.
A single serving of Squid Rava Fry (about 6 rings) contains approximately 300-350 calories. This is an estimate and can vary based on the amount of oil absorbed during frying.
Squid itself is a healthy source of lean protein and minerals. However, this dish is shallow-fried, which adds significant fat and calories. It's best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
The most common reason for rubbery squid is overcooking. Squid has very little connective tissue and cooks extremely fast. Frying for just 2-3 minutes per side is usually sufficient.
Yes, you can use frozen squid. Make sure to thaw it completely in the refrigerator overnight. Before marinating, it's crucial to pat the thawed squid rings very dry with paper towels to remove all excess moisture.
This usually happens if the squid is too wet. Ensure you pat the squid rings completely dry before adding the marinade. Also, after coating, let the rings sit for a minute or two before frying to help the coating adhere better.
It's a fantastic appetizer on its own, served with onion rings, lemon wedges, and a green chutney. It also pairs well as a side dish with a traditional Goan meal of fish curry and rice.
