- When the onion is light brown and fragrant then add your tomatoes and the spices that you have in your bowl
- Mix and then add 1/4 cup water
- Mix again and cover with the lid
- After 8 to 10 minutes, add your crab into the pot
- Make sure you have enough liquid in your chutney, but not too much.
- Cover and allow to cook on medium with the lid on
- After 10 minute , check for salt & stir
- Switch stove off, cover the pot and leave for about 5minutes.( I do this to allow the gravy to soak into the crab meat)
- Then switch stove on and let the thin liquid reduce
- When you see a lovely, thick gravy and treacle’s of oil, and the crab is coated in the gravy then the crab curry is done
- Throw in some fresh dhania garnish, mix, cover pot & switch off the heat.
