Crab/Njandu Masala

Crab/njandu Masala  is a peppery spicy seafood delicacy. Even though a sea food lover I confess that cleaning and breaking the shells of crab is still a tough job for me and definitely I got a little help from hubby dear :). There are many who keep away, but believe me it is one of the yummiest sea food. Try this recipe,you will surely love this.

Ingredients
Crab- 2 lb
Onion- 1 large
Shallots- -6-8
Ginger- 2 inch thick
Garlic- 8-10
Green chilly-2
Chilly powder- 1 1/3 tsp
Pepper powder- 1 tsp
Garam Masala - 3/4 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves
Oil
Salt to Taste

Clean Crab,remove the shells and cut off the legs. Cook crab with turmeric powder, pepper powder, 1/3cup of water and  salt ( be careful with salt ,add only little salt first and adjust according to taste). Crab will also shed its own water. Do not make it dry,just leave a little of the juice
Crush onion, shallot, ginger, garlic, green chilly and curry leaves. Heat oil in a pan and fry this mixture till golden brown. Add a pinch of turmeric, chilly powder and garam masala and the cooked crab along with its juice. Mix well and close  the lid for a minute or two. When dry sprinkle a few drops of coconut oil and fresh curry leaves. Serve warm with rice.
