Description
Curry powder is a convenient shortcut to creating Indian-style meals at home, without the need to stock up on a long list of spices. Here it's used to make a curry dish with squid, onion, bell peper, cilantro, and coconut milk. Squid takes only a few minutes to cook, and it's important to avoid overcooking or else it will be tough, not tender. You can find cleaned squid at many supermarkets, and if you buy the frozen variety you'll need to thaw it according to the package instructions.
