MADRAS CRAB CURRY



Madras Crab Curry image

The sight of live crabs being sold in Chinatown brought back mouthwatering memories of mom's crab curry which I used to devour and I wanted to relive the experience. The body is cooked whole along with the pincers and legs. The legs usually don't have much meat but add flavor to the dish. The curry is purposely on the milder side to ensure that the spices do not overpower the delicate meat flavor. It is best when eaten the next day! Serve with hot rice cooked with a couple of cloves and piece of cinnamon.

Provided by keka1980

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian     Bangladeshi

Time 1h55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 fresh Dungeness crabs, cleaned and with their shells cracked
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1 tablespoon hot water
1 tablespoon mustard oil
3 cups sliced red onion
1 ¾ cups boiling potatoes, peeled, halved lengthwise, and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices
2 whole cloves
1 (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick
2 pods green cardamom pods
5 whole black peppercorns
2 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped
4 Thai green chiles
1 ½ teaspoons garlic paste
1 ½ teaspoons ginger paste
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt to taste
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 wedge fresh lemon
½ cup chopped fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Rub the crabs with 1 teaspoon of the turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon salt; let them marinate for 1 hour. Combine the mustard seed and hot water in a small bowl and let stand for 10 minutes. Use a mortar and pestle to grind the seeds into a coarse paste.
  • Heat the oil in a wok or kadhai over medium heat. Add the crabs and stir fry until they change color, about 4 minutes. Remove the crabs from the oil and set aside.
  • Add the sliced onions to the wok and cook and stir over medium heat until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Raise the heat to high, add the potatoes, and cook, stirring constantly, for about 2 minutes. Add the cloves, cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and peppercorns, and stir for thirty seconds.
  • Stir in the tomatoes, ginger paste, and garlic paste. Halve three of the chiles and add them to the wok. Cook and stir for an additional minute or two over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium; add the remaining 1 teaspoon turmeric, the cayenne pepper, and the mustard paste and stir to combine. Add the crabs to the wok and pour in just enough water to cover the vegetables. Bring the water to a boil and stir in the sugar and salt to taste.
  • Cover the wok, reduce the heat, and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the water is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Remove the lid, stir, and simmer until the gravy is thickened, about 5 minutes more.
  • Squeeze the lemon wedge over the finished dish. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green chile and serve hot, with rice.

CRAB CURRY



Crab Curry image

This Cantonese curry is very mild, colorful, fun and finger-lickin' good. Oh, and messy. Great opportunity to use those antique finger bowls (damp cloths in a basket will also do). If you want spicey-hot, tweek accordingly. For more guests simply multiply the recipe by the number of crab you plan to serve. It's limited only by the capacity of your wok. I like to serve it in a large bowl in the center of the table with a loaf of wonderful bread to sop up the sauce.

  • Use a flavorful curry paste: The curry paste is what will give your crab curry its unique flavor. Be sure to choose a paste that is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. You can also adjust the amount of curry paste to your liking, depending on how spicy you want the curry to be.
  • Add plenty of vegetables: Vegetables help to add bulk and flavor to crab curry. You can use any vegetables that you like, but some good options include tomatoes, onions, peppers, and potatoes. You can also add greens, such as spinach or kale, at the end of cooking.
  • Simmer the curry gently: Crab curry is best when it is simmered gently over low heat. This allows the flavors to develop and meld together. Be careful not to overcook the crab, as it can become tough and chewy.
