Topic: Crabs
The first crab curry that I made was a product of my experimentation, it was cooked like the Chicken Curry and it was a little bit soupy but this one is different, I used little amount of coconut milk only to cook and moistened the crabs, I also added beaten egg which turned lumpy with the coconut milk and the crabs juice. So yummy.
Ingredients:
3 pcs. medium crabs
3/4 cup coconut milk
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp. curry paste
1 medium onion, sliced
1 ripe tomato, sliced thinly
2 tbsp. grated ginger
1 tsp. chopped red chili (optional)
1/2 tsp. sugar
salt to taste
1 stalk green onion, cut into 1 inch length
3 tbsp. cooking oil
Directions:
1. Cleaned the crabs, open the shell of each and cut it into 4 pieces.
2. Heat oil in a pot, saute onions, ginger and tomatoes for 1 minute. Add the crabs and curry paste and stir fry until the crabs' color turns into red-orange.
3. Add the coconut milk,sugar,red chili and salt, cook for 5 minutes or until the crabs are done.
4. Add the beaten egg, stir to mix with the ingredients well. Cook until the egg and coconut milk turns lumpy. Stir in the chopped green onions. Cook for few seconds, turn off heat and serve.
