Spicy Crab Curry
Spicy Crab Curry
On a cold winter evening, Crab curry is something to relish. Ofcourse it has to be spicy and fully of flavours. I love Crabs and especially Crab curry, I think this is the best way to eat Crabs because the Crab gets lots of flavours infused when it simmers in the Curry.The Crab Curry needs to be rich and flavourful. To get the dark red colour I have used Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder.
