INGREDIENTS :

Bomba Rice - 1 Large cup
Squids - 4
Prawns - 3-5
Olive Oil
Salt - 1 Tsp
Chopped Onions - 1 small cup
Chopper Garlic
Red Bell Peppers
Birds Eye Chilli - 7-8
Tomato Puree - 4-5 Tbsp
Fish Stock - 100 ml
Saffron
Smoked Paprika
Lemon - 2
Wine - 50 ml
Parsley

Process
• Prepare the Seafood: Cut the squids in half, open them out, and slice them into strips.
Keep the prawns aside.
• Cook the Squids: In a paella pan, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the squid strips and season with salt. Stir-fry until slightly cooked, then remove from the pan and set aside.
• Cook the Prawns: In the same pan, add a little more olive oil and the prawns. Cook for 5-10 minutes until they turn pink. Remove and set aside.
• Prepare the Base: Add more olive oil to the pan. Saute the chopped onions, garlic, red bell peppers, and bird's eye chillies until softened. Stir in the tomato puree and mix well.
• Add Stock and Spices: Pour in fish stock, add saffron and smoked paprika, and mix thoroughly. Add the bomba rice, season with salt, and stir to combine.
• Simmer the Paella: After simmering for a few minutes, gently nestle the prawns and squid back into the rice mixture. Add lemon wedges on top, cover with silver foil, and let it simmer on low flame.
• Finish with Wine: Towards the end, pour in 50ml of white wine, give it a gentle shake, and cover again for 5-7 minutes.
• Serve: Once cooked, remove the foil and garnish with finely chopped parsley. Serve hot.
