Crabs - Fiji Style

Crustaceans are my favorite seafoods and living here in Fiji (we are surrounded by the sea/ocean) there is no shortage of crabs, mussels, prawns and lobsters. Lobsters and prawns are not so common a sight as are the crabs. Every day you'd find people selling bundles of crabs on the road side especially after 4.00 p.m.

Anyways this is how we make Crab Dish here in Fiji.


First Step -
Clean the Crabs really really thoroughly!!! We use a toothbrush to get to those "hard to reach places :)...

Second Step:-

Get the ingredients ready.
Ingredients
Onions
Currey Leaves
Chilli Garlic Paste
Fenugreek, sesame, fennel, mustard seeds
Coriander
Masala, Turmeric, Chilli Powder, Rice Flour
Salt to Taste



Saute the onions, chiili garlic paste, seeds, curry leaves until the onions turn transparent. Add the Masala, turmeric, chilli powder, rice flour, salt to taste. Lightly fry and then add your crabs.



After cooking the crabs for sometime add stock or just plain water to make the gravy.

It's yummy!!!! In fact it was so yummy that I forgot to take a picture after it was cooked :) Maybe next time.... ;)
