Making the most FINGER-LICKING GOOD Crab Curry - so good we'll fight the Colonel for the branding!

Cooking crab curry is an art form. Eating it is it's own art form as well. This method of cooking crab was taught to me many years ago by my mother-in-law. I am sharing it with my KZbin community with a few modern updates! You will wish you could smell this through your TV/mobile device as it was cooking!
Ingredients
2kg crab - 1.1kg after cleaning
For the Marinate
~ 2 thumbs of whole ginger
10 cloves garlic
1 tsp salt
2 tbs coconut oil
1 tbs soy sauce
A handful of dhania (coriander) - Apologies for the incorrect spelling in the video
Large Splash of lemon juice ~ 2tbs
For the braise
1 large onion, grated
A large handful of curry leaves
4 green chillies - to taste
1/2 cup oil
1 curry spoon mixed masala - equivalent to 4tbs
1 tsp hurdee (tumeric) powder
2 bay leaves
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp sesame seeds
1/2 tsp methi (fenugreek) seeds
1 tsp jeera (cumin)
1 tsp dhania (coriander) seeds
1 tsp black pepper corns
4 large tomatoes, grated
1/2 cup tomato puree
1 tsp salt
1 tsp mixed herbs
2 tbs imlee (tamarind)
1 cup coconut milk
1 tsp dhania (coriander) powder
1 tsp Jeera (cumin) powder
Spring onion and Dhania to garnish
We served with some fresh French loaf to soak up the gravy. If you are like Pranesh, you will need an antihistamine because the curry is irresistible!

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

How many are you cooking for? If you watch my videos you will see that I generally use 4 or 5 pots and pans over and over again - if you get the right ones from the start then you stick with them and they last you a very long time. And you don't have to go out and get them all at once - I have accumulated over the years and certainly have my favourites over time...

I have never eaten crab, except as part of a seafood salad (Crab sticks). Here in South Africa we prefer Crayfish, especially Cape Townians. Do you know if this will work on Crayfish? I love the normal Malay crayfish curry.

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

I’m up in Joburg 😬 Wish we could get some kreef! We haven’t tried with crayfish but it could work. You may want to cut back in the spiciness because crayfish meat is a more delicate flavor than crab so could be a little bit of trial and error to start with. Your local fishmonger should also have orange or pink crabs in their shells. I can ask around and see if I can find a supplier for you

Our fishmonger sells the crabs whole and then cleans them up for us into the bodies and the legs. The bodies are generally more meaty but the legs can also yield some good crab meat and we like to sit and chew them... Rice or roti goes well with crab. To soak up the gravy.

Please do NOT think that I am a HINDU RACIALIST and commenting on our different ETHNIC GROUPS. I as well am of South Indian origin (Dravidian), was married to a North Indian woman, Person of Aryan heritage. I am presently single as a result of consequential differences. However, I am now a South Indian MUSLIM. THIS DOES NOT MEAN I AM NOT INDIAN. IT SIMPLY MEANS THAT I AM A BELIEVER IN ONE ‘GOD’. NOW, the essence of what I originally meant to say is this, A HINDU IRRESPECTIVE of marriage will / is supposed to always remain Hindu. Hindu you are and I cannot, will not question your integrity. However, there are certain differences in our culture, tradition and obviously lifestyle. SOMETIMES, even our food plays a significant role in determining our character. Amma, forgive my addressing you so but it is purely out of respect for you. South Indian FOOD AND ITS PREPARATION IS ALTHOUGH NOT RESTRICTED, UNIQUE AND TRADITIONALLY DELICIOUS. I, TOOK COGNISANCE OF THE FACT THAT THE CURRY YOU JUST PREPARED IN FRONT OF THOUSANDS OF VIEWERS WERE INSPIRED BY YOUR, IN - LAW RELATIVES ON YOUR HUSBANDS SIDE. AKKA, I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL COOK OR CHEF BUT OUR SOUTH INDIAN TASTE IF I MAY SAY SO, WHEN IT COMES TO SEAFOOD IS FAR MORE SUPERIOR. I SAW YOU PREPARING A CRAB CURRY THAT WAS DEFINITELY NOT SOUTH INDIAN. INNOVATIVE THOUGH IT WAS, IT WAS NOT AUTHENTIC. THE INTRO INTO COCONUT OIL AND COCONUT MILK IS NOT A NEW CONCEPT BUT HOW ABOUT SOMETHING MORE RELATIVE, SOMETHING THAT AUTHENTICATES REAL‘SOUTH INDIAN’CUISINE. SHAMEER NAIDOO, SOUTH AFRICA. (PS.
