KURLE AMBAT / CRABS IN COCONUT BASED GRAVY !!!!


I am a eggitarian person. But my son loves crab. So, prepared this curry for him.

INGREDIENTS:-

Crab, cleaned & washed - 4
Grated coconut - 1/2
Red chillies - 5
Tamarind - small chana size
onions, finely chopped - 2 medium
salt to taste



METHOD :-

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. Grind coconut+red chillies+tamarind to a smooth paste.
3. Now add this paste + half of the finely chopped onion in a kadai & bring it to a boil.
4. Now add crabs+salt in this kadai & mix well & cook it for  1/2 an hour or till done.
5. Now temper it with remaining onions & mix well & again bring it to a boil.







HAPPY COOKING :))))

and here's an tip:- 

This dish tastes great when crabs absorbs the gravy. So, better serve it after 3-4 hrs.
