  Crab fry: (I wrote this recipe from Vanitha magazine written by Fousia Musthafa, but I never tried this)
  
  1. Fresh crab - 5
  2. Chilly powder 2 teaspoon
  Turmeric powder 1/4 teaspoon
  Salt to taste
  3. Sliced onion 2 Big ones
  Sliced Chillies 2
  Crushed Ginger 1" piece
  Crushed Garlic 8 cloves
  4. Black Pepper Powder 1/2 teaspoon
  Chopped Coriander Leaves 1 teaspoon
  5. Oil 1 tablespoon
  
  Cleaning the Crab:
  On the under surface of the Crab there is a white triangular flap. Hold on to the pointed end of the flap and pull it out. This flap is continous with the outer shell. You can pull the flap and with it the whole outer shell will come out, leaving the meat intact. Now remove the gills from the crab meat and cut and remove the claws from the crab legs. You can divide each crab meat into two pieces.
  Put some salt in a vessel and add the crab meat and mix well with the hand. Wash the meat several times with water until the water becomes clear.
  Place the crab meat in a saucepan and add the chilly powder, Turmeric, salt and just enough water to cook the crab. Place the container on a stove top and cook in a medium flame until all the liquid is absorbed.
  Pour the oil in another container and heat it up. Now add sliced onion and saute it for a few minutes until it becomes tranparent. To this add sliced chillies, crushed ginger and garlic one after the other and saute. When the oil starts to separate add the chopped Coriander leaves, Black Pepper powder and cooked crab meat and mix well so that the masala gets coated onto the meat. When it is fried well, switch off the stove. Serve this warm with rice or chappathies.

  I've just purchased crab claws for the very first time. I don't know how to prepare them. Do I simply boil them and serve with melted butter? HELP!!!:)
