Crab Curry

AJ loves crab like anything. He ll have the crab legs even with tea as a snack, however you prepare it. We got the cooked & frozen snow crabs from Walmart. Though they don’t give the taste of the live crab which we get back home, this was also delicious.

Fry the shredded coconut and grind it to a fine paste/liquid form. Keep it aside. (See here)

Fry the mustard seeds in oil. Once it pops out, add the chopped onions, green chillies and ginger garlic paste. Once the onions are translucent add the chopped tomatoes.

 

When they turn squishy, add the turmeric powder and masala powder. Fry for a minute and then add the ground coconut. Add water as per the gravy required. Once it starts boiling, add the crab and let it cook on a low flame.

 

 

Garnish with chopped curry leaves and coriander leaves before turning off the flame.
