Crab Curry

Ingredients: (Servings for 5 )

5 nos whole crab
2 big potatoes
2-3 onions
2 inches ginger
3 cloves garlic
1 medium sized tomato
2 tsp jeera powder
1 tsp red chili powder
Salt to taste
Sugar to taste
Mustard oil/White oil

Method:
Clean the crab. Mince the ginger and garlic into a paste. Chop one onion finely and grate one onion. Peel and chop potatoes, and wash them .
Heat the oil. Put in the crabs and fry at high temperature. When crabs are fried, take them out and put them aside.
Add the minced onions and garlic. Fry till the onions are well done and then add grated onion, stir for few minutes. Then add potatoes. Put in the ginger and jeera powder paste and cook for a minute-- the aroma of ginger and garlic should be apparent. Now put in the chopped tomatoes.
Add turmeric powder, chili, salt and sugar. Stir occasionally adding water to prevent burning until the oil seperates and add some more water as required.
When the potatoes are soft, put the crab back in and mix well. Add water enough to drown the mixture and boil for few minutes. Finally add garam-masala powder (1tsp)
Serve hot.
