Craving a rich, flavour-packed crab curry without measuring out a long list of spices? Sooo Easy Crab Marinade brings the seasoning together in one convenient packet, making a delicious homestyle crab curry simple to prepare.
Serves: 2–3
Ingredients
- 4–5 medium crabs, cleaned and cut into pieces
- 1 sachet Sooo Easy Crab Marinade
- 1 tbsp oil, for marination
- Water, as required
- 1–2 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- Fresh coriander, for garnish
- Salt, only if required
Method
1. Prepare the Marinade
Empty one sachet of Sooo Easy Crab Marinade into a mixing bowl. Add oil and a little water and mix well to form a smooth marinade.
2. Marinate the Crabs
Add 4–5 medium-sized cleaned crabs and coat every piece evenly with the prepared marinade. Cover and allow it to marinate for about 15 minutes.
3. Prepare the Curry Base
Heat oil in a pan. Add the finely chopped onion and cook until soft and lightly golden.
4. Add the Marinated Crabs
Add the marinated crabs to the pan and mix well with the cooked onion, making sure all the pieces are evenly coated with the masala.
5. Cook the Crabs
Cook for a few minutes, stirring gently so the marinade begins to coat the crabs and release its flavours.
6. Add the Remaining Marinade
Add a little water to the mixing bowl containing the remaining marinade, mix well and pour it into the pan. Adjust the amount of water depending on how much gravy you prefer.
7. Cover and Cook
Cover the pan and cook on medium heat until the crabs are completely cooked and the curry develops a rich, flavourful consistency. Stir occasionally and add a small splash of water if required. Adjust salt only if needed.
8. Finish and Serve
Cook until the curry reaches your preferred consistency. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander and serve hot.
Serving Suggestion
Enjoy your Crab Curry with steamed rice, jeera rice, roti, chapati or bhakri.
Sooo Easy Tip
Let the crabs marinate for at least 15 minutes before cooking so the flavours coat every piece well. For an even deeper flavour, you can allow it to marinate a little longer.
With the seasoning already balanced inside the packet, there’s no need to measure multiple spices separately.
Adjust the spice your way: Use less for less spice and more for more spicy.
```Less prep. Full flavour. Just Sooo Easy.
