can be more easily removed. Slice the shallots and chillies, grind garlic
and ginger and grate the coconut. Place the crab in a pan and add the
shallots, chillies, garlic, ginger, turmeric, fenugreek, chilli powder,
paprika powder, cinnamon stick, curry powder, curry leaves, coriander
leaves and thin coconut milk and cook until crabs are done. Mix the thick
