1. Prepare the Roasted Beans, Peanuts & Jackfruit Seed

   Heat 1 tbsp oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the black‑eyed peas and peanuts; stir‑fry 2‑3 minutes until fragrant and lightly browned. Remove and set aside. In the same pan, add a little more oil and quickly fry the boiled jackfruit seed slices for 1‑2 minutes; set aside.

2. Fry the Karimeen (Small Fish)

   Pat the fish fillets dry, rub with a pinch of salt and turmeric. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a non‑stick pan over medium‑high heat. Fry the fillets 3‑4 minutes each side until golden and crisp. Transfer to a paper‑towel‑lined plate.

Stir in turmeric, red chili powder, and coriander powder; cook 1 minute. Add the squid rings, salt, and 1/4 cup water. Cover and simmer 8‑10 minutes until the squid is tender. If using, stir in coconut milk and simmer another 2 minutes.
