Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 30 minutes, then drain.

  2. 2

    Cook the Potatoes

    In a large pot, add the cubed potatoes and enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until the onion is translucent.

  4. 4

    Add Spices and Crab

    Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, salt, and black pepper. Add the crab pieces to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring gently.

  5. 5

    Combine with Coconut Milk

    Pour in the coconut milk and let the mixture simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  6. 6

    Finish the Dish

    Gently fold in the cooked potatoes and let everything simmer together for an additional 5 minutes.

  7. 7

    Cook the Rice

    In a separate pot, cook the soaked basmati rice according to package instructions. Fluff with a fork once done.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Serve the crab curry hot over a bed of rice, garnished with fresh cilantro.
