Steps

1To prepare Spicy Masala Crab Recipe, get all the ingredients handy and grind the masala ingredients fried onion, coconut, cinnamon, bay leaf, ginger, garlic & coriander leaves - to a fine paste.
2In a kadai/wok, heat some oil and saute the onion.
3Add the crabs and sauté to coat them with oil.
4After the crab changes it color to deeper in 10 minutes on a medium heat, start adding the dry spice powders - turmeric powder, coriander powder, Kashmiri red chilli, red chilli powder and salt as per taste. Stir in all the spices to ensure that the crab is coated well with spices.
5Add the chopped tomato, stir them into the crab mixture. Add 1/2 cup of water, since crab cooks in its own moisture in meat as well.
6Cover with a lid and cook on simmered flame for 5-6 minutes, until the water from the meat starts oozing out.
7Remove the lid and check for the spice levels, and adjust.
8Pour in the ground masala and cook on a low flame with lid closed, for another 15-20 minutes.
9You may continue cooking to adjust the consistency of the gravy as desired.
