Crab Claws Curry

 

Crab Claws Curry

Rock crab claws at our local supermarket looked so clean and tempting. There was a little over a pound of claws in the package which was perfect because I will be the only one eating them. Hubby is not fond of anything that has to be picked at, so a simple filleted fish curry will suit him.

Cooking the Crab Claws

A few tips before I dive into the recipe. First of all, make sure to use a nut cracker to crack the claws, and break apart each segment before cooking. It was a mess doing that while eating. Secondly, the claws came frozen and I dropped them into the gravy as is. They thawed and cooked over medium-low heat to perfection. And last but not least, I loved cooking them this way because this is a dump-and-go recipe. Make sure the gravy ingredients are minced so that the gravy comes out smooth and delicious when cooked. 

This is best served with hot, steamed rice.

Kankra'r Jhal - Crab in Mustard Sauce




Kankra'r Jhal
Those live crabs in the Asian supermarkets have been piquing my interest for a while. Yesterday, my defenses finally crumbled and I bravely selected six of the most active and had them cleaned in the store. Dinner last night was the most enjoyable meal for me but it would have been better if I could have shared it with someone else. The last time I had crab cooked the Bengali way was before I left India in 1977.

Hubby cringes at the sight of crab, so I prepared Tilapia fillets for him in the same way as the crab.
