  • Once cool, transfer the contents into a blender. Add the chilli powder, turmeric powder, ginger, garlic, garam masala powder, tomatoes and the chopped coriander with some salt.
  • Grind it into a smooth paste. Set aside.
  • For the Crab Curry:
  • Heat oil in a nonstick wok. Once heated, add the cumin seeds, bay leaves and the curry leaves and let the leaves splutter.
  • Then, add the chopped onion and cook until translucent. To this, add the green chillies and masala paste. Cook and stir for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add water to the mixture. Once the mixture is bubbling, gently add crab meat and combine.
  • Add salt to taste and, if using pureed crab legs in the mixture, add this at this time.
  • To the mixture, add lemon juice and cook covered on a medium flame for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Once crabs turn orange in colour, they're cooked.
  • Top with coriander leaves and serve hot with fresh rotis or jasmine rice.
