  • Ginger garlic paste - 1 teaspoon
  • Green Chillies - 2
  • Coriander powder - 1 tbsp

  • Heat oil in a deep pan (kadai) and temper the whole garam masala, cumin seeds, fennel seeds and curry leaves.
  • Add the onions and green chillies and fry till it turns golden.
  • Next fry the ginger garlic paste for a minute.
  • Add the tomatoes and cook till the tomatoes are mashed up.
  • Now add the chilly powder, coriander powder and turmeric powder.
  • Now add the crabs and mix to coat the crabs with the masala.
  • Add some water depending on how much gravy you need. You can also make it a semi gravy dish.
  • Cover and let it cook for 5-7 minutes. The crab turns red in color when done. If you overcook the crab it will become stringy.
  • In the meantime grind the ingredients under 'To grind'.
  • Add this ground paste to the crab gravy. Check for salt and other seasonings and adjust if needed.
  • Let the gravy simmer for another 5 minutes for the ground masala to get cooked.
  • Finally add chopped cilantro and switch off.
