I love curry!  I’m sure that isn’t a surprise to many of you who have followed me on this blog as I have shared countless curry recipes.  Crab curry is one of my absolute favorites.

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp geera(cumin)
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1 tbsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tbsp chopped thyme
  • 4 tbsp water
  • 3 tbsp oil
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 hot pepper
  • 4 cups water
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 2 scallion, finely chopped
  • 1 ½ cup coconut milk
  • 2 lbs crab
How to make
  1. Make a curry paste by mixing the geera, garam masala, garlic, thyme and water in a small bowl.   In a large pot over medium high heat, add oil.  When the oil is hot add curry paste and stir.  Lower the heat to medium and cook for 5-7 minutes until the curry darkens.
  2. Add onion and stir fry for 2 minutes or until the onion softens.  Add pepper, water, coconut milk and salt and bring to a boil.  Add crab and cook until the sauce thickens.   When the sauce is thick, turn off the stove and stir in scallion.
  3. Tips* I used snow crab for this recipe but you can use your favorite crab.   Fresh or frozen works well.   I cut the snow crab legs in half and cracked the claws so that the meat will be flavored with the sauce.
