Sotong Percik ( Malaysian Coconut Spiced Grilled Squid)

When you want to eat something delicious but the laziness overpower you, you can try this simple recipe yet really delicious.

Percik. The combination of lemongrass, shallot,ginger, and coconut milk as the main ingredient will never dissapoint you. This gravy is suitable for any roasted meat or seafood as in malaysia, it commonly served with roasted chicken or grilled fish or squid. (Yeah today I've made percik with fish and squid.)

The chicken will firstly cooked with coconut milk and other ingredients to make the gravy and finally being roasted over again to get more aroma and flavor. Then it is finally served by showering the rest of gravy on top of the roasted chicken. But for the fish and squid, simply marinade it with the ready made percik (without cooking the seafood first) and grill it afterward before showering the fish or squid with the rest of gravy and it is ready to eat along with plain rice.

Sounds delicious? Lets get the recipe !! :
