PDFAs featured on Foxtel fishing show Hooked with Dave Butfield that just aired –
Ingredients –
500g squid tubes, cleaned and cut into rings
4 Tbsp rice flour
1 cup oil (I use Carotino red palm oil)
2 Tbsp butter

1-2 sprigs curry leaves
2 small (birds’ eye) chillies, sliced
pinch of pepper
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tsp chicken stock granules
1/2 cup evaporated milk
Steps –
1. Drench squid rings with rice flour. Flash fry; remove with slotted spoon.
2. Melt butter, add curry leaves, garlic, chillies, fry until garlic is lightly browned.
3. Toss in squid, add all other ingredients.

Hi Jackie. I am cooking your Dahl recipe at the moment and just spotted this. I really don’t like squid and not too good at fiddling with recipes but would this work with prawns instead?
Definitely Kerrie; in fact I usually use this recipe with prawns; it was adapted for squid purely for the fishing show, Hooked w/Dave Butfield, that it was featured in 🙂
Thanks Jackie. Anything with evaporated milk is very tempting for me. Does it have a Malaysian name?
It’s actually one version of what’s called Malaysian Butter Prawns – the more well-known version involves deep-frying some beaten egg yolk until you get some light flaky shreds to add to the dish; this version skips that bit and also incorporates some sauce which to me works well when eating with rice 🙂
It sounds delicious. This one is on my to do list
