Print Recipe
Author Jehan Powell

Ingredients

  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 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

Instructions

  • Make a curry paste by mixing the curry powder, 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
