Chili Crab!

Last week, I was vacationing in Andaman.  Now, I am having strong and unbearable  post holiday pangs about returning to white sands and blue waters. I had an amazing plate of 'Chili Crab' on Havelock and have been meaning to cook the same. Here goes nothing!!! 

Ingredients 

1) 6 medium sized crabs
2) 6 spring onion bulbs, chopped
3) 2 tbsp chopped garlic
4) 1 tbsp ginger, finely chopped
5) 5-6 green and red chilies, chopped
6) 1 tsp crushed pepper corn
7) 2 tbsp vinegar
8) 2 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder
9) 1/2 cup oil.

Recipe 

1) Heat the oil in a pan and fry the crab pieces for 5-6 minutes. Keep aside.
2) Add the garlic, ginger, spring onion bulbs, Kashiri red chili powder, red and green chili to the oil. Stir for a minute. Next, add 1/2 cup water, a pinch of salt and the crab pieces. Stir and cover with a lid. Let it cook for 5 minutes.
3) Incorporate the vinegar and peppercorn and remove from heat. Serve hot with spring onion and chilies. Squeeze fresh lime juice on top.
