This crab gravy using coconut milk is prepared in villages with small crabs. Here I have preferred the same with flower crabs. You can prepare this Curry with or without coconut milk. I have prepared by adding the coconut milk.

Also you can make this more spicy by adding more chili powder or black pepper. That is purely your option. Here I have a added only coconut milk and omitted the black pepper since I’m going to give this gravy to my kids. So you can test by adding these different options according to your spice level.

If you want to know how to clean the crabs you can check my video here. Also if you like other crab recipes you can check the below ones.
