Crab Masala


Ingredients:

2 lb crab or (1 Kg crab)
3 tbsp Oil
2 medium onion(finely chopped)
5 tomatoes(finely chopped)
1 tbsp ginger-garlic paste
1 tsp turmeric
1.5 tsp red chilli powder
t tsp coriander powder
2 tsp cumin powder powder
2 sticks cinamom
6-7 cloves
5 cardamom
salt to tasteMethod:

Take oil in a large pan. Add the cinamom, cloves and cardomom and fry for a minute(the spices will give out a nice aroma). Add chopped onion and fry until golden brown and then add ginger-gralic paste. Fry until the raw smell goes away. Now add turmeric, red chilli powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and fry all for a few seconds. Add salt to taste.

Add the tomotoes and let it cook for a few more minutes and then add the crab. Add some water. This is a dry masala,so water is added so that the crab masala does not stick to the bottom of the pan in which it is cooked.Once the crab is cooked(about 15-20 mins in low-medium heat), remove from heat and serve.
