Step by Step guide
Step 1
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over low heat until sizzling. Add 1 tablespoon of chopped onion, coriander seeds, cumin seeds, dried chili, black peppercorns, cloves, garlic, and ginger.
Step 2
Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes until fragrant. Turn off the heat and add dill seeds. Stir well. Transfer to a blender and blend until smooth.
Step 3
Wipe the pan with a paper towel and add the remaining oil. Heat over medium heat. Add the onion. Cook for 6 minutes, stirring, until the onion is golden brown. Add the tomato puree, bring to a boil, and simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the turmeric powder and the blended spice paste. Mix well and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the oil starts to separate and rise to the surface. Add a few drops of water if the paste is too dry or sticking.
Step 5
Place the crabs on top and season with salt. Spoon a small amount of sauce over the crabs. Cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes. Remove the lid, stir, and continue cooking for 10 minutes, occasionally spooning sauce over the crabs.
Step 6
Garnish with cilantro leaves and serve with flatbreads or rice.
