CRAB MASALA CURRY RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• For the Masala Paste:
• Heat the oil in a non stick pan. Once heated, add the chopped onion into the pan and cook until translucent.
• Add the grated coconut into the pan. Roast for about 1-2 minutes until well-toasted.
• Add the coriander seeds, white sesame seeds and cumin seeds. Roast them for 1 - 2 minutes more until aromatic. Now, empty this mixture into a bowl and let cook.
• Once cool, transfer the contents into a blender. Add the chilli powder, turmeric powder, ginger, garlic, garam masala powder, tomatoes and the chopped coriander with some salt.
• Grind it into a smooth paste. Set aside.
• For the Crab Curry:
• Heat oil in a nonstick wok. Once heated, add the cumin seeds, bay leaves and the curry leaves and let the leaves splutter.
• Then, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent. To this, add the green chillies and masala paste. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes.
• Add water to the mixture. Once the mixture is bubbling, gently add crab meat and combine.
• Add salt to taste and, if using pureed crab legs in the mixture, add this at this time.
• To the mixture, add lemon juice and cook covered on a medium flame for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once crabs turn orange in colour, they're cooked.
• Top with coriander leaves and serve hot with fresh rotis or jasmine rice.
