Add tamarind juice and stir well to mix. Add seasoning
and simmer for two to three minutes.

aside for use later.
To prepare the cuttlefish: Season cuttlefish in one teaspoon chilies paste and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Fry in oil until cooked. Dish out and set aside.
To prepare the fritters: Combine flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a mixing bowl. Mix in
water gradually to form dough. Leave aside for 30 minutes. Add in green chilies
and shape into small cylindrical pieces 6cm to 7cm in length. Sprinkle with
