How To Clean Crab For Curry
This is a beautiful saucy crab dish thickened with egg bits partly cooked in hot sweet and sour spicy broth. This dish is very popular in Singapore and actually popular across all parts of the world for crab and seafood lovers. I have cleaned the crabs and mashed its claws before cooking. Any medium to large sized mud crabs you can use for the dish. Even soft shelled blue crabs are appropriate for this dish if you are annoyed with breaking of hard shells
