Recipe details for Crab Malabar

Serves:
4
Ingredients:
2 tbsp vegetable oil
Method:
Fried curry leaves to garnish. The crab shells to contain the mixture, if whole crabs have been used.

Heat the oil in a pan. Put in the mustard seeds and when they splutter after a few seconds add the poppy seeds. Again after a few seconds add curry leaves followed by the chopped onion and simmer gently until the onion is translucent. Add the chopped garlic and sauter a further minute.

Add the turmeric powder and sauter for 10 seconds before lowering the heat and adding the yoghurt. Simmer for a bare minute and then add the coconut milk and the desiccated coconut. Continue to simmer for 3 to 4 minutes to reduce.

Put in the crab meat and the corn kernels and mix in. Return to the boil and check seasoning, adding salt to taste.

The dish can be served warm or cold, in the crab shells if applicable, and garnished with the fried curry leaves.
