  3. I cooked this in a clay pan or use a regular saucepan.
  4. Add all the ingredients to the pan & combine well using your hand.
  5. It's important to combine well.
  6. Place the pan over medium heat & close with the lid.
  7. Cook for 20 minutes, let the squid turn soft.
  8. If it's getting dry add ¼ cup water & cook till squid has cooked well.
