Squid Recheado / Stuffed Squid

Squids or calamari are one of the seafood delicacies, that we can find any place is goan, squid is prepared variously,  it’s goes well as a side dish/appetizer, in goa, one should have enjoyed it while a visit to goa, with a nice chilled drink at “Sea Side” if not do try while you are down to goa for a visit. The typical and most popular Goan recipe is the stuffed squid / Mankios Recheado, well all must be thinking what is “Mankios” in Konkani squid are called, and “Squid” in  English and “Lulas” in Portuguese.

Who does not love squid and when you prepare with recheado masala it’s outstanding, recheado masala is goan special, with spices & ground with vinegar into a smooth paste,  it is deep red, with tangy, spicy and sweet, I love recheado masala, which we goan used to prepare various stuffing and also use for chilly fry, squid stuffing / mankios recheado pair well with stem rice and curry, O forgot to tell my kids are a great fan of Mankios Recheado.
