I am a huge fan of sea food. If I have to make one selection from a variety of meat dishes, I would select sea food. This crab curry I made in my Mom's style. She used to make it for me in this way. Whenever she made it, I took a long time to finish my food because I used to be busy trying to take out the flesh from the shell. But still it was worth it.
