?One lb small or med-sized fresh squid, clean the squid by laying it flat on the chopping board and gently pulling out the head in one direction. Empty the cavity of the squid. Wash it clean. Discard the head except for a small portion of the tentacles. Slice the squid to thin rings.
?4 tbsp peanut or vegetable oil
?One large onion, sliced
?Two ripe tomatoes, quartered
?One tbsp tamarind paste
?One cup water
?1-2 tsp palm sugar or dark brown sugar
?salt
?8-10 shallots
?2 tsp belacan, also spelt belachan or blacan [dried shrimp paste]
?4 cloves garlic
?5 tbsp chili paste
?4 candlenuts [Substitute: macadamia nuts]


Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:


? In a small bowl, using your fingers, mix together tamarind paste and water, then strain and discard seeds
? Using a mortar pestle or blender, grind shallots, garlic, belacan, candlenuts, chili paste into a paste
? In a heated wok, add oil, stir-fry ground paste until quite toasted and oil starts to ooze, about 5 mins

? Cover, reduce heat to med, simmer till tomatoes are well stewed (mash with spatula) and sauce thickens
