Finally, here I am with my all time favourite crabs gravy. I have observed that people who are very fond of fish, dont prefer crabs/prawns much and vice versa. Obviously I am in the second category.
Ingredients:
Crabs 4
Onions 3/4 cup
Coconut 1 and 1/2 cups
Coriander seeds 1 tea spn
Red chillies 5-6
Tamarind 1/2 tea spn
Oil 2 tea spns
Salt
Method:
Clean the crabs. If the crab is big, cut them into 2 pieces to make eating easier. Slightly crush the legs with pestle(beat it just once or twice just to crack the outer shell slightly).
Heat 1 tea spn of oil and fry coriander seeds. Grind them with red chllies, coconut and tamarind to a smooth paste.
Heat remaining oil and fry onions till they are slightly brownish. Add ground masala, salt and cook for 2-3 min. Now add the crabs and cook for around 12-15min.
Serve hot with rice.
The taste of gravy increases once the crabs absorbs the gravy. So preferably serve it after 3-4 hours.
