  • 1 teaspoon soft brown sugar
  • For the curry sauce
  • 2 small onions, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 8 curry leaves
  • 7cm/3in piece of cinnamon stick, broken in half

  • 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice

Instructions

  • Put all the ingredients for the curry sauce into a heavy saucepan and

  • Heat half of the the oil in a large frying pan, and add half of the squid.
    Cook over a fairly high heat, stirring constantly, for 1–2 minutes until the

    transfer the squid to the curry sauce, and repeat the process with the
