Coconut Garam Masala Crab


I love crab and I can eat them everyday if I want to! I'm always trying to find other ways to cook them. Tonight, I decided to prepare them using my Indian spices. This is another simple recipe that anyone can enjoy. I took pictures step by step so that you can easily follow the cooking instructions. Prepare to get your hands dirty! This is one messy delicious meal!

Ingredients and Preparation:
1-2 serving

1 large fresh dungeness crab cleaned, legs and body chopped
1 cup of coconut milk
1 tbs garam masala powder
1/2 tsp ground red chili pepper
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 cup of fresh basil leaves
6 cloves of fresh minced garlic
1 medium sliced yellow or white onion
3 tablespoon of vegetable oil



Pre-heat the wok and add the oil; when the oil is hot, add the garlic and fry until golden brown






Add the onion and stir fry for about 3 minutes until they are limp







Add the garam masala, stir and cook for about 1 minute







Add the cumin seeds, stir and cook for about 1 minute







Add the coconut milk







Stir well and cook for about 2 minutes







Add the crab pieces and coat well with the mixture
