Ingredients for Crab With Curry Sauce
Method
Directions for Cooking Crab With Curry Sauce
Prepare Crabs
Start by steaming or boiling the crabs in salted water until they turn bright red, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Make the Curry Sauce
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add Aromatics
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Incorporate Tomatoes and Spices
Add the diced tomatoes, curry powder, turmeric, and chili powder. Cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes break down.
Add Coconut Milk
Pour in the coconut milk and stir well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Combine Crabs with Sauce
Add the cooked crabs to the skillet, ensuring they are well-coated in the sauce. Simmer for an additional 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
Season and Garnish
Season with salt to taste. Top with fresh cilantro before serving.
Serve
Serve the crab hot with lemon wedges on the side, alongside steamed rice or crusty bread.
