  • For the masala, grind together freshly grated coconut, roasted chillies and tamarind into a fine paste. Pour the masala over the crabs which is now marinated for 20 minutes.
  • Add enough water to arrive at a consistency of semi-solid gravy. Cook the crabs for about 15-20 minutes. If the gravy becomes thick, you can add coconut milk to it and boil it.
  • Once cooked keep it closed for about 10 minutes for the crabs to absorb the flavor of the spices.
