Crab and curry are a match made in heaven! Crab Curry is a popular seafood dish that we often order only at restaurants. Despite the fact that everyone enjoys the taste of crab, many people are hesitant to attempt to cook the recipe. Cooking the crab, on the other hand, is not as difficult as many may think. The crab meat already has a lot of flavour, so it doesn’t take much effort to make a delicious gravy.
Try serving this curry with plain boiled rice and plenty of gravy. Crab curry is best eaten with your fingers.
