LOL. Didn't expect the pic to turn out that big either. Hahah.


It's indian style flower crab. May not be everyone's cup of tea. Had it at my Indian colleague's place during Deepavali and couldn't get enuf of it. So asked her for the recipe. That was the 1st time I tried cooking crabs, always find the cleaning daunting. But with flower crabs quite easy leh. Since getting the recipe, I've been cooking it almost mthly. Next I will try to get from her, her recipe for masala chicken and bryani.

Try only if you like heavily spiced stuff or Indian food. Anyways, here goes,

2 parts chilli powder to 1 part coriander seed powder
Red onions
Tomatoes
Curry leaves
Coriander
Salt & black pepper

Mix the chilli and coriander powder together with some water to form a paste
Fry the onions till fragrant then add in the paste and curry leaves and fry till fragrant
Add in the crabs and tomatoes
Add salt and pepper to taste (can add a bit of sugar to take the edge off the spiciness if you want or if you want more kick, throw in a few chilli padis) and garnish with coriander

That's it. Easy.

For about 8 crabs, I used
2 heaping tbsp of chilli to 1 heaping tbsp of Coriander powder.
3-4 large onions and 5-6 ripe tomatoes
1 large handful of curry leaves

oh u also boil black chicken soup, black chicken with ginseng is tasty, right??

hmm...let me think abt it......
i think most of the soups we boiled are rather common among families,
with chicken, duck, chicken feet or pork ribs....
maybe u wanna to try boiling 菜干 soup, with pork belly or pork ribs, shiok !!! :love:
but be warned, the 菜干 takes a long time to boil to get it soften and tasty.
