• Put all the ingredients for the curry sauce into a heavy saucepan and
bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce for about
45 minutes until it is very thick.
• 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
squid has turned white and is just cooked. Using a slotted spoon,
transfer the squid to the curry sauce, and repeat the process with the
remaining oil and squid.
• Stir the sugar into the squid curry, and simmer the curry gently for
5 minutes to heat through. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Serve at once.
