I have already posted crab curry recipe a few weeks back. In this recipe, I have added raw mangoes and few prawns as adding few prawns to the curry enhance the taste.
I got some freshwater crabs or river crabs. The crab’s shell is quite hard and hence they are also called stone crabs. These are tastier and fleshy in comparison to sea crabs. Ideal to make curry.
Crab Curry with raw mangoes
Usually, when we cook crabs, I mean crab curry, we sometimes pair it with Malabar spinach, prawns. since we are in the Mango season I can never miss adding this. The raw mangoes give a slightly tangy taste. I am sure whoever reads this post is going to miss your hometown if you are from the coastal side. However, if you are a passionate cook, you will find ways to get all the ingredients. I hope you will all enjoy cooking this.
