Servings: persons

800 g squid, tubes (hoods)
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon cornflour
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons white pepper
2 cups clean vegetable oil (for cooking, wok)
2 red chilies, chopped
2 green chilies, chopped
1/2 cup chopped spring onion
2 tablespoons garlic, roughly chopped
1/4 cup lime juice
1 tablespoon palm sugar or 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 cup coriander leaves, roughly chopped

1
Cut the tubes open and check that they are really clean.
2
Open them up from one side and lay them with the inside surface facing up. With a really sharp knife, make slanted cuts into the flesh of the squid at 5mm intervals - only shallow, don't cut through.
3
Reverse and do it from the opposite direction to make diamond shapes.
4
Then cut the tubes into wide strips and toss into the flours, salt and pepper. Shake off any excess - I find a sieve works best.
5
When ready to cook, heat the oil to just smoking and add half of the squid sections.
6
Cook until they are a pale golden brown. Drain on paper towelling. Repeat with the remaining squid.
7
For the sauce, combine the rest of the ingredients.
8
To serve, pile the squid into a shallow serving plate and pour over half of the dessing.
9
Serve the rest of the dressing separately.
