Cooking Instructions
- 1
Firstly, let’s start with cleaning and cutting your crab. Remove legs from the body. Then open the butt flap and remove.
- 2
Then grab from the whole and pull the top body casing off.
- 3
Now, remove the dead “man’s fingers”, then wash the yellow funny colours out.
- 4
Break in half and then get started on cutting. This is my top tip to make it easier to eat once cooked and no flesh will be left behind because now it’s more accessible. I do this with my kitchen scissor.
- 5
Now, for the tomatoes, I’d suggest that you either blend or grate them. If you blend them like I did, add 1 stem of curry leaves and 3 chilies and blitz.
- 6
Put your pot on a medium to high heat. Add oil, mustard seeds, onion, chillies, remaining curry leaves and turmeric and cook till translucent.
- 7
Add your paste and mix and leave to simmer for 2-3 minutes before adding your dried spices, do not add sugar at this point.
- 8
Put your heat on low to medium and allow the spices to fry for 5 minutes. Do not burn them! Thereafter, add your tomato and sugar and mix together and leave to simmer for 30 minutes.
- 9
Once done, add your tamarind water and let it cook for a further 15 minutes.
- 10
To make tamarind water, put your tamarind in 1 cup of hot water and mix with your hands and remove all the seeds and skin.
- 11
Now add your crab in and mix in. Leave it to cook for 30 minutes.
- 12
Now add 3/4 of your coriander and allow that to cook for a further 30 minutes. Add salt at this point to taste.
- 13
Now add your remaining coriander for garnishing and you’re done 😋.

Green curry mussels Green curry mussels
Have you ever woken up craving something specific to eat? It happened to me this morning, and the craving was for mussels. No specific preparation, just plump, juicy mussels. It's a little weird, I know. They must've been in a dream. Anyway, after breakfast I scrapped my original plan for dinner and hopped online to surf for some mussel inspiration. I eventually came across a green curry recipe by Andy Baraghani at Bon Appetit. His dish didn't actually include any mussels (it was vegetarian) but I decided to use it anyway as a jumping off point. It worked like a charm. For convenience, I used frozen half-shell mussels. Feel free to replace them with fresh mussels if they're available to you. Regardless which you use, it's gonna be delicious.

Easy Chicken Curry (Addictive) Easy Chicken Curry (Addictive)
This curry is easy to make with just a few ingredients. Cleanup is super easy too. It was featured in the May 10, 2007 release of 'Highly Praised Side Dishes'.The origin of this recipeI adapted a recipe taught to me by my sister. Since then, I make either this smooth curry or the thick curry with store-bought roux depending on my mood. (Sometimes I crave the thick curry...)The origin of the name... An ex-boyfriend asked for the recipe right after we broke up. He suddenly craved it. I kindly shared it with him, hence the bold name of this recipe.

Chicken and Chickpea Curry Chicken and Chickpea Curry
It was 100°F (38°C) when I made this mildly spicy, hearty dish in a futile effort to summon Autumn 😂. Yes, it’s probably better suited for Fall, but it has an amazing flavor and is nutritious, too! I didn’t think my young daughter would like it, but she did!The ingredient list looks a little long, but don’t let that deter you. The prep is fairly easy and it comes together quickly once you have the ingredients ready. This recipe is definitely going into my regular rotation.Note: You can make this dish vegetarian by omitting the chicken and adding another can of chickpeas.This recipe was modified from “The Real Food Dieticians.”#GlobalApron - Week 24.

Crock-Pot Chicken Curry Crock-Pot Chicken Curry
Scottish husband (the U.K's healthy Indian influence inspired many of the meals his mom would cook) was craving the comfort of this dish his mom use to make when he was a child. I've never made it before, hadn't ever had curry of any kind. This is what I came up with after reading a Martha Stewart recipe. I improvised with what I already had. Anyway, it was absolutely delicious. He loved it.

Grandma's chicken curry special Grandma's chicken curry special
Dedicated this recipe to my grandma from whom I learned basic cooking. This is a 20 year old recipe I remember she cooked for me only. Fortunately I used to help her pound the ingredients, that's why this recipe is still in my memory. Being her last descendant, it will be of great merit to impart this recipe to everyone who loves curry.
