Crab is not only mine but my family's favorite, but getting crab (with flesh) is very difficult here in Bangalore. I use to have a look at crabs whenever I go to market for getting fish, but this time I found the crabs with heavy weight and suddenly I got six of them.
Since its summer and crab is not good for summer, I prepared crab with drumstick leaves which is good for summer. Also the curry taste delicious and the aroma was unbeatable. I would say this is as a 'Finger Licking Curry'. I accompanied this with steamed rice and egg omelets.
