Ingredients:

Crab – medium size 4(with shell, trunk portions, discard legs)
Grated garlic 2 spoons
Grated ginger 2 spoons
Salt
Turmeric powder 1/2 spoon
Chili powder 1 spoon
lemon juice few spoons
Oil for frying.

Method:

Wash and clean crabs. Retain the shells intact. Discard the legs and appendages. Maybe…one can use the legs for making soups.

In a bowl, add salt, turmeric, chili powder, ginger-garlic and lemon juice. Mix them thoroughly into thick paste.

Now coat this paste evenly over crab. Marinade it for 2 whole hours.

Heat oil in a wok. Maintain over medium heat.

Now fry 1 or 2 crab at a time. First fry over medium heat. Then fry over high heat for few minutes….till crisp and reddish color.

Serve as a side dish for Rasam or Sambar rice.
