1. Prepare the squid: Rinse the squid rings and pat them dry.

3. Add spices: Stir in paprika, cumin, and chili flakes. Cook for 1 minute.
4. Add tomato: Pour in the tomato puree. Season with salt and pepper. Let it simmer for 5–7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Cook squid: Add the squid rings to the sauce. Simmer gently for 10–15 minutes until the squid is tender. Don’t overcook, or it may become rubbery.
