Indian Curry Crab

Thursday, January 4, 2007

Of all the curries I have tasted in my life thus far, crab curry has an unbeatable aroma which just tantalizes the taste buds. I just love getting my hands dirty eating it and more so with a group of good friends cracking the shells on the table.

Crab curry comes in many variations and influences but today I shall feature an Indian Crab Curry which is the most flavourful in my opinion due to the spices used which truly is a culinary delight.

15 oz Whole Crab

2 CardamomCardamom

3 inches GingerGinger

5 cloves GarlicGarlic

1 medium sized TomatoTomato

9. Fry the potatoes for 2 minutes.

10. Add the minced onions. Fry till the onions are well done.

12. Now put in the chopped tomatoes.

17. Serve with steamed rice and enjoy it while its hot.
