Instructions

1. To heated oil, I added the 1/2 tsp crushed dhania, crushed mustard and crushed jeera powder

2. Add in 1 finely chopped onion. Allow to infuse

3. When the onion is light brown and fragrant then add your tomatoes and the spices that you have in your bowl

4. Mix and then add 1/4 cup water

5. Mix again and cover with the lid

6. After 8 to 10 minutes, add your crab into the pot

7. Make sure you have enough liquid in your chutney, but not too much.

8. Cover and allow to cook on medium with the lid on

9. After 10 minute , check for salt & stir

10. Switch stove off, cover the pot and leave for about 5minutes.( I do this to allow the gravy to soak into the crab meat)

11. Then switch stove on and let the thin liquid reduce

12. When you see a lovely, thick gravy and treacle’s of oil, and the crab is coated in the gravy then the crab curry is done

13. Throw in some fresh dhania garnish, mix, cover pot & switch off the heat.
