Crab dishes are not very popular in Kerala. I know many of my friends who have never tasted a crab dish in their life. But I like Crab recipes, what ever form it may be. This crab recipe can be used as a side dish with chappathis or nan as it has a thick , tasty gravy. The taste of Coconut over powers the dish to absolute perfection. Try it.
