Crabs gravy (Kurle ambat)

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.

Prep time: Indian
Cook time: Servings: 4

Goes Well With: rice

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

Directions

  1. 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).
  2. Heat 1 tea spn of oil and fry coriander seeds. Grind them with red chllies, coconut and tamarind to a smooth paste.
  3. 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.
  4. Serve hot with rice.
  5. The taste of gravy increases once the crabs absorbs the gravy. So preferably serve it after 3-4 hours.
