Fried Asam Squid Mom's Recipe

Hi..I'm back for one simple recipe.
I've been cooking this dish for years (for my younger brother) but never thought that it is one of the delicious meals cooked by me until I got married. I cannot take squid due to my sinus..therefore, I just cooked and never tasted it. The recipe is from my mom. My mom cooks very well.
Until one day, I cook this simple dish for my husband as his favorite's is also squid, only than I found that this very easy and simple dish is delicious as he loves it so much.
Here is the recipe:


  1. Clean your squids and marinate them in salt and turmeric (Let them rest for 10 minutes).
  2. Ingredients:
    • Onions, garlic, ginger,
    • Cili padi, red chilly and tomato (fruit),
    • 2 teaspoons tamarind, 
    • soy sauce,
    • salt,
    • sugar.
  3. Ingredients to be fried:
    • Slice onions (1 big one will do), garlic (2 cloves) and also 1/2 cm ginger.
    • Slice "cili padi" (the small spicy green chilly) and red chilly.
  4. Okay, now you are ready to cook. 
    • Fry the squids until it turns brownish. 
    • Move the squids from the pan.
    • Now,with the leftover cooking oil in the pan, fry your onions, garlic and sliced ginger.
    • Then, put in back the pan the fried squid. 
    • Add 2 teaspoons tamarind paste (you can buy the one ready in bottle).
    • Add soy sauce, salt and sugar to taste. 
    • Finally, put in the sliced Chilies and cut tomato.
  5. And ready to serve.
You can serve with plain white rice.
Happy Cooking!!!
