CRAB CURRY ( WITH RAW MANGO)

CRAB CURRY ( WITH RAW MANGO)

Crab curry , sukka or crab masala is one of the most loved delicacies among seafood lovers. 

My mom used to make awesome crab curry which was loved by everyone but cracking its shell to remove meat  was a  very difficult task and  we always used to take a longer time to finish our lunch or dinner.  

Crab curry tastes awesome when raw mango or bimbli fruit is added  to the gravy.  The sour & acidic taste of raw mango or bimbli fruit makes this curry richer & tastier. 

The coconut and spices added to the masala , gives unique flavour & taste to this dish.  The spicy, tangy, flavourful gravy makes anyone to fall in love with this tasty dish. 

PLEASE NOTE: Add spices as per your preference. We prefer less spicy food.  Use only required quantity tamarind as we use raw mango in this recipe which has sour taste.
