We've made a Sri Lankan classic: Crab Curry. While commonly a whole crab sits in a bowl, we've created a more manageable version with ready-picked crabmeat. The sweetness from the crab and creaminess from the coconut are paired with a zingy lime and cucumber salad and served over fluffy rice. Add the coconut milk, tamarind paste, and pandan leaves and stir to combine.
Instructions to make Srilankan crab curry # surf:
- Put the crabs in the freezer for 1 hour to immobilise them. Pull off the top shells, pull out the spongy grey gills and remove the guts. Wash clean and put the crab in boiling water along with little salt snd turmeric powder (I do this to remove the raw smell and firm up the flesh) 5 minutes.. Remove, chop the crab into 6 pieces..
- For the curry powderPlace the rice on a dry non-stick pan. Heat over medium heat until the rice starts to turn light brown. - Add the rest of the spices and pan roast for a further 3 - 5 minutes until the spices start to brown, toast and become aromatic. Keep moving the pan to prevent the spices from burning. - Remove from the heat and let the spices cool. - Once the spices cool down - use a spice grinder (or a mortar and pestle) to grind the spice mix into a powder in batches and mix well. Store
- Heat the oil in a large heavy-based saucepan, add the onions, curry leaves, chillies and cook for a few minutes or until the onions are golden
- Add the coconut paste.. saute' - Add the curry powder, chilli powder and turmeric mix in and add the crab and cook for another 3 minutes, at this stage you need to stir it a lot so the spices don’t burn.
- Then add the coconut milk, the tamarind paste, stir and add the water.
- Cover and simmer for 12 minutes or until crab is just cooked through and sauce has thickened. Stir in the drumstick leaves, lime juice and season to taste with salt. - Enjoy with hit steamed rice..
Crab curry is one of the tastiest dishes in Sri Lanka. Just like other seafood dishes, this spicy crab curry dish also a favorite dish for people who visited Sri Lanka. We Sri Lankans mostly cook seafood especially this crab curry with perfect spices and mixes. In Sri Lanka, crab is one of the top-wanted items on a seafood menu. I have had crab in every which way possible; at the most outrageously priced crab specialty restaurants to the small hole-in-the-wall outlets known for their crab curry in Sri Lanka and elsewhere, but let me just say that I am yet to encounter a crab curry that tops the one my mother makes. කටට රසට කකුළුවන් කරිය - Sri Lankan Style Crab Curry කකුළුවන් සුද්ද කරමු - https://www.youtube.
