      Title: Plamuk Pat Phet (Curried Squid)
 Categories: Colonel, Seafood, Thai, Curry, Chilies
      Yield: 4 Servings

      1 c  Calamari rings; cleaned
      1 c  Makheua pro; quartered
      2 tb Chopped garlic
      2 tb Red curry paste
      2 tb Fish sauce
      1 tb Light soy sauce
      1 pn Sugar
      1 tb Julienned prik ki nu daeng
           - (red Birdseye chilies)
      2    (to 3) Bai makrut (Kaffir
           - lime leaves); shredded
      2 tb Chopped bai kaprao

  This dish is supposed to be hot. However as always you can
  reduce the heat in cooking it (diners can always add more
  chilli later, but they can't take it out!) bai kaprao
  (holy basil) is a Thai variety. If not available
  substitute ordinary european basil. Thai eggplants
  (makheua pro) are a yellowish green fruit the size of a
  golfball. If you can't get them, then you could substitute
  common purple aubergine.

  Heat a little oil in a wok and stir fry the garlic, then
  add the curry paste, and stir until aromatic. Add the
  squid, and stir fry briefly. This cooks very quickly and
  becomes rubbery if overcooked. You may prefer to lift the
  wok from the stove to stir in the squid. Add the remaining
  ingredients, and stir until the flavors are combined. As
  soon as the squid is cooked transfer to a serving dish.

  Note: because the squid cooks so quickly, you might prefer
  to steam the squid, and to combine and reduce the other
  ingredients to form a dipping sauce.

  In either case serve with prik dong (pickled red chilies),
  nam pla prik (green chilies in fish sauce), prik phom
  (chilli powder), sugar, and fresh ground ginger.

  If you are serving it dip style, then you could also add a
  mild satay sauce as a contrasting dip. Those who prefer a
  hotter dip might also use nam prik narok (literally the
  dipping sauce from Hell)
