Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Frying pan
  • Blend
  • Sieve

Ingredients

  • 1 medium crab

For the curry sauce

  • sunflower oil
  • 500 g garlic paste
  • 500 g onion paste
  • 4 tbsp mild curry powder
  • 4 tbsp coriander powder
  • 4 tbsp turmeric powder
  • 1 l chicken stock
  • 100 ml soy sauce
  • rice vinegar to taste

For the garnish

Method

  • Cook the crab in simmering seasoned water (or use pre-cooked crab). Once cool enough to handle, remove the white crab meat and leave somewhere warm once picked.
  • On a medium heat, cook the onion and garlic paste in some sunflower oil. Cool out for five to 10 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Add all the spices. Cool for about five minutes, constantly stirring, then add the chicken stock and soy sauce and bring to the boil, then simmer until thick.
  • Blend and pass through a sieve until smooth. Season to taste with soy sauce and rice vinegar.
  • Divide the crab into four bowls and spoon over the room temperature curry sauce. Garnish with puffed rice and chopped fresh coriander.
