Heat some oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, curry leaves, curry powder, and turmeric powder. Stir well and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they start to break down and release their juices.
Add the squid rings and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to turn opaque.
