method
- Remove main shell of crab , or preferably batter your eyelids and ask your local seafood guy to cut chop and clean the crab for you ..
- Heat a very large saucepan ,
- Dry fry onion , garlic , ginger , mustard seeds and coriander seeds until the spices start warming and fire cracking !
- Add green curry paste stir through for 2 mins, and just before it dries out add tamarind tomatoes .
- Pour in the Fish stock into the pot , and coconut cream and let it simmer for 5 – 8 mins and let the flavours romantisize , allow the pastes and spices to cook , making sure they are not a raw taste, ( feel free to have a small teaspoon taste test )
- Add your crab . Boil together for another 5 -8 minutes .
- The crab should only take less then 10 minutes to cook the flesh .
- Serve with Boiled rice , and roti ‘ s!!!
The secret to this dish is to NOT OVER COOK ! If crab or any seafood is overcooked it can turn chewy and dry . !!! A dish that you should not keep your eyes off !! !! !! So fragrant and delicious , A dish you will need a bib , both hands and and beware you can totally over eat , the flavours are addictive !!
